After a period of experimentation in the two most important games of the season, Paulo Fonseca is expected to return to a more classic game against Rennes this Saturday at 9:05 p.m. This is explained first of all because Olympique Lyonnais had a week to prepare this match, allowing players to recover physically and mentally. Second, there is an urgent need because the place in the Champions League is still uncertain and the club must maintain the seat built in recent weeks.

Nemanja Matic should also regain his place in the eleven against Rennes after being left behind following his management against Manchester United. The Serb had a good week of training and should therefore be titularized against his former club.

The midfield duo will probably be composed of Tanner Tessmann alongside Nemanja Matic, although Corentin Tolisso could also be titularized if he is sufficiently recovered from his injury. In the attack, Malick Fofana should return to a position after being considered “fit to start a match” by Paulo Fonseca.

The probable composition of Olympique Lyonnais against Rennes: Anthony Perrier - Leo Dubois, Castello Lukeba, Krisztian Nemeth, Taylan Kaan - Nemanja Matic, Tanner Tessmann (or Corentin Tolisso) - Karl Toko Ekambi, Lucas Paquetá, Malick Fofana - Alexandre Lacazette.
