Ligue 1 returns tonight as Olympique Lyonnais host Rennes. Both teams are in the upper group of the table and need points to avoid slipping out of that group. Rennes are in slightly better form right now, but a trip to Lyon's ground is never easy for anyone. The hosts are still unbeaten in the league this season and just won at home in their last match by a score of 3-1, while Rennes are also unbeaten, but with several narrow wins that required effort until the closing stages. The visitors' defence still shows gaps, especially early in the second half, when they concede noticeably more than at other times. The pattern of play is likely to see Lyon with more of the ball, gradually pushing forward to find openings from the flanks and set pieces, while Rennes wait to counter with the speed of a forward line ready to run for the full ninety minutes. The thing to watch from kick-off is how quickly Lyon can press the opponent into losing the ball in their own half, because if they manage it, the hosts' attack will get to play in the areas it likes best.
