Lyon Team News

As strange as it may sound, Lyon can be satisfied with their current position on the table, considering the disastrous start to the season. The French giant had long been the undisputed last-placed team in the championship, and many fans feared that their favorites would compete in Ligue 2 next year.

However, a good series of three consecutive victories in December of the previous year brought Lyon back to life. They managed to defeat Toulouse 2:0, Monaco 0:1, and Nantes 1:0, drastically improving their position. Unfortunately, the winning streak was interrupted in the first league match in 2024, and Lyon was defeated away to Le Havre.

After that match, the host is in 16th place, in the relegation zone, but with the same number of points as Metz, the first team “above the line.” Undoubtedly, everyone in Lyon is hoping for a triumph against Rennes that would finally take them out of the relegation zone after a long time.

Rennes Team News

Rennes is positioned in the middle of the table, precisely in tenth place, with 22 points after 18 rounds. They are equidistant from the teams in the relegation zone and those competing for European spots next season. Additionally, the guests succeeded in the group stage of the Europa League, finishing second in Group F, right behind Villarreal, securing a place in the Round of 16, where they will face Italian side AC Milan in mid-February.

It seems that the form of the visitors has improved after finishing their European campaign, as they recorded a draw with Toulouse away and victories against Clermont and Nice in the matches following their last encounter with Villarreal. The Europa League break lasts until mid-February, and there is no doubt that the complete focus of the visitors until then will be on the domestic championship, with their first challenge being an away match against Lyon.
