Rennes preview: Eyeing their second home win of the year
Christopher Wooh received a straight red card in last weekend's defeat against Lille. The Cameroonian defender will miss this contest alongside Alidu Seidu and Dogan Alemdar, who are both out due to injuries.

Predicted lineup: Samba (GK), Truffert, Brassier, Hateboer, Assignon, James, Cisse, Al-Taamari, Fofana, Blas & Kalimuendo.

Player to watch: Oumar Diakite
Oumar Diakite scored the winning goal when these teams clashed in September last year. Although he has not scored or registered an assist in his last 11 appearances across all competitions, the former Red Bull Salzburg forward was on the scoresheet in two of the last clashes between these teams. It will be interesting to see if Diakite will get back to scoring ways.
