Lyon host Rennes at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais with the hosts clear favourites in the market, and the context supports that view. Lyon are unbeaten this season and sit fifth in Ligue 1 under Paulo Fonseca, having also won at Anderlecht in Europe, and they are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 built around Openda and Nakamura in the front line. Rennes arrive with a fully available squad under Franck Haise and will look to Blas, Lepaul and Soumaré to threaten on the break, but their away record against the top sides has been patchy. The tactical battle centres on whether Rennes' midfield can disrupt Lyon's rhythm through Camara and Rongier, and on set-pieces, where Lyon carry a genuine edge. Home advantage and unbeaten momentum make the hosts the percentage call, with the draw as cover.
