The visiting Rennes side should be favourites in this visit to Lorient, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.
- Lorient haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Rennes has the most points from losing position (12) in Ligue 1
It's no vacation for neither Lorient nor Rennes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Lorient form and stats
With {2 Ligue 1 wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Lorient are certainly not brimming with confidence.

There will be little rest for Lorient after this match as they are travelling to Nice for a Ligue 1 game in only three days.

Rennes form and stats

The supporters enjoyed Rennes's previous game versus Olympique Marseille (placed 4th), a Ligue 1 2-1 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Nice.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Stéphan when Adrien Hunou scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute.
A new game in only three days for Rennes, the Ligue 1 home match versus Metz. Busy days.
