Rennes – Nantes preview: Latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Rennes vs Nantes lineups.
Rennes
Rennes were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw on their visit to Montpellier last weekend. Dominated large periods of this match but Yildirim failed to impress in his first league start and he could be dropped to the bench again now.
Rennes continue to be very solid defensively but they struggle for goals lately and this explains why 4 of their last 5 matches have ended in draws.
The stumbling forward actions can be excused with the fact that the team’s most creative inner midfielder Le Fee and the two main threats on the wings Terrier and Kalimuendo are sidelined right now. With all 3 of them out Doue and the unconvincing Gouiri start much more often than they would have in other circumstances.
Predicted Lineup:
Mandanda (GK), Assignon, Omari, Theate, Truffert, Bourigeaud, Matic, Blas, Doue, Salah & Gouiri
Nantes
Nantes made a slow start to the season (D2 L2) but they won back-to-back matches recently to move up the table. Last weekend earned a thrilling 5-3 home win vs Lorient. Defensively looked very poor but the forward actions impressed.
The main goalkeeper Lafont is finally fully fit and a possible starter for the first time this season in the coming match. Descamps conceded 3 cheap goals last weekend and his role as a starter seems to be coming to an end.
Nantes are still missing wide players Zeze, Adson and Centonze, plus rarely used striker Ganago, but everyone else seems to be fit.
Predicted Lineup:
Lafont (GK), Duverne, Comert, Castelletto, Merlin, Pedro Chirivella, Douglas Augusto, Mollet, Abline, Mohamed & Simon
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Player to Watch: Steve Mandanda
Rennes rely on their 38-year-old goalie Steve Mandanda and he has kept clean sheets in 3 of the last 4 rounds. Mandanda also has 5 shutdowns in his last 8 starts against Nantes and he loves to play the Canaries.
This is why we pick Mandanda as our player to watch as we expect him to record yet another clean sheet vs Nantes.
