Match Preview

Lyon have won three games on the bounce in Ligue 1, sitting in fourth place. At home, they have only lost three times all season, losing once in their previous six.

Rennes are also on a strong run of form, winning four games in a row in Ligue 1. Away from home, they've also won four on the bounce, with only Lille and Paris Saint-Germain picking up more points on the road.

When the two sides last met back in September, Rennes secured a 3-1 victory at home. Across the last four meetings, when Lyon has been at home, both sides have found the back of the net.
