Finding a recent clinical edge in the final third, Lyon are enjoying their most fruitful spell since the middle of February. Making an almighty statement on April 19th as they secured an iconic 2-1 win away at reigning Champions League semi-finalists PSG, Sunday’s hosts will be desperate to make another Ligue 1 statement this weekend. However, it is worth highlighted, Fonseca’s men have seen four of their last five domestic showdowns in front of their own supporters finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, embarking on what has become a sensational run of form, Rennes race firmly cemented their spot as one of France’s ultimate surprise packages. Last seen securing a 2-1 victory at home against Nantes, Franck Haise’s side are riding a major wave of momentum and they have come skyrocketing up the table. Remarkably travelling to Lyon on Sunday night sat within touching distance of the Champions League places, the former Nice boss has seen his squad receive a string of plaudits from across the continent. Marking their return from March’s international break with a frantic 4-3 victory away at Brest, Rennes have now remarkably won all of their previous four consecutive domestic appearances by an aggregate score of 11-5. In fact, aside from a 2-1 defeat at home against Lille on March 15th, that is the only loss that Rennes have suffered from any of their last 10 consecutive outings – a purple patch that stems all the way back to February 7th.
