Rennes are yet to find consistency, with Wednesday's goalless draw against Olympiacos in the UEFA Europa League extending their winless run to four matches across all competitions.
Rennes have managed just one victory in their last five outings, alongside two draws and two defeats, with both losses coming in Ligue 1.
However, a return to Roazhon Park could provide the boost they need, with Rennes winning their last four consecutive home matches.
Their attacking performances in front of their own supporters have been particularly impressive, with 13 goals scored at home in Ligue 1 this season, the joint-highest tally in the division.
Their defensive record is a different matter, though, having conceded 19 goals in their opening league fixtures.
On the other hand, Lille have also experienced a dip in form, winning just once in their last six matches in all competitions, with three draws and two defeats.
Their latest outing ended in a goalless stalemate against Bodo/Glimt in Europe on Tuesday, although they entered the week on the back of a valuable 1-0 league victory over Lens.
Those results have at least provided a defensive boost for Davide Ancelotti's men, who have now recorded consecutive clean sheets for the first time since April.
Their defensive organisation has been a major factor behind their strong league position, with just six goals conceded so far, the lowest total in Ligue 1.
The Mastiffs also have an outstanding record away from home, winning eight of their last 10 Ligue 1 away matches, drawing one and losing one.
