Rennes scored the first goal in each of its recent five home games. The hosts have been classical at home because of their scintillating midfielder (Martin Terrier).

Rennes vs Lorient: Match Preview and Line-ups
Rennes has engaged Lorient in ten competitive matches since 2015. Rennes holds a better result against the Sunday opposition. Here is our thoughtful preview for the coming match between Rennes and Lorient:
Rennes lost its last two matches but remains a realistic contender for a Champions League spot in the coming season. Bruno Genesio must react faster because the competition for European places has become extremely fierce this season. The French tactician knows that a single loss is enough to kick his side outside the top six if results do not favour him in other fixtures. Rennes will line up against Lorient without the services of Doku, Gomis, and Sulemana who are out due to injuries.
Lorient needed a last-minute strike in the added time from DangoOuattara to claim a much-needed win against the Ligue 1 bottom-placed team to get outside the relegation zone. However, luck seems not to be on the Merlucciidaes because they are visiting a venue where seven out of eight teams graced and left pointless. We expect Christophe Pelissier to retain his 4-3-3 formation to try and upset Rennes on Sunday. The visitors should travel on Sunday in high spirits because they had claimed two draws from five attempts. Diarra and Monconduitwill miss the coming clash due to injuries.
Predicted Rennes lineup: Alemdar, Traoré, Aguerd, Omari, Truffert, Martin, Bourigeaud, Santamaría, Majer, Laborde, and Terrier.
Lorient predicted lineup: Dreyer, Goff, Laporte, Petrot, Mendes, Abergel, Innocent, Boisgard, Lauriente, Moffi, and Soumano.
