Lorient and Rennes had mixed starts to the French Ligue 1, and they go head-to-head, eyeing the three points on offer. While Lorient’s return to the topflight was marked by defeat, Rennes started on a winning note. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Lorient, returning to the topflight as the Ligue 2 champions, started off with an away match at Auxerre. Lassine Sinayoko scored the lone goal as Auxerre ran out winners in the match. Lorient will be thankful for Josue Casimir’s missed penalty.
It would have been worse. Going into matchday two, Les Merlus will pin hopes on their home form. Though facing tougher opposition, they are looking to carry the form that won them 15 home games last season.
Rennes, on their part, will be gunning for a second win in as many matches. Facing a promoted side, they will feel three points here are achievable. However, there will be some jitters, as they have suffered four straight defeats in this fixture.
Rennes beat Marseille in their opening match, leaving it late before grabbing the winner. Deep into added time, Ludovic Blas fired home the only goal, winning a match that seemed to be headed to a draw.
Les Rouges et Noirs played about an hour with a man down after Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal was sent off on the half-hour mark.
