Fifth-placed Rennes host third-ranked Lens for Ligue 1 gameweek 29 in an exciting clash at the top of the standings. The Franck Haise-led side would go level with Marseille if they were to beat Rennes tonight, further strengthening their credentials to play Champions League football next season. Les Sang et Or won’t have it easy against the Bretons as the latter are one of the best sides when it comes to their home record.
Lens, the league’s best defense with only 21 goals conceded since the start of the season, have received an injury boost with the return of Facundo Medina. The excellent Argentine centre-back is expected to feature at the back alongside Kevin Danso and Jonathan Gradit. Belgian international striker Loïs Openda, who scored a four-minute hat-trick last month against Clermont, is expected to lead the line.
Lens likely lineup against Rennes
Brice Samba – Jonathan Gradit, Kevin Danso, Facundo Medina – Florian Sotoca, Salis Abdul Samed, Seko Fofana, Przemislaw Frankowski – Adrien Thomasson, Loïs Openda, Angelo Fulgini
