Team News

Rennes
Nimes
  • Flavien Tait and Damien Da Silva are both suspended here; look for Clément Grenier and Gerzino Nyamsi to take their places in the hosts' XI.
  • Save those enforced absences, it should be as you were for Bruno Génésio, who will be eager for a win and a chance at European football next season.
  • Now officially relegated, Nîmes will hardly be eager to rush back any of the half dozen players who missed out on last week's loss to Lyon.
  • With Paquiez absent, look for Patrick Burner to start at right back.
  • Clément Depres was fit enough for the bench against Lyon and could be given a start here after a months-long injury absence as a matter of sentiment.

Prediction

  • While Tait and Da Silva are no doubt key losses, Rennes' attacking prowess should have them comfortable winners here. Whether it's enough to overtake Lens is another story, but a home win seems the order of the day.
  • Nîmes have looked better since the arrival of Pascal Plancque, but were ultimately undone by injuries and a lack of stability at the back, something which will likely be on show once more here.
