Rennes have a significant absentee in key midfielder Baptiste Santamaria, who is suspended. Defender Jeanuël Belocian is also a major doubt. However, their attack is in full health with Martin Terrier, Arnaud Kalimuendo, and Benjamin Bourigeaud all available.

Lyon have a near-full-strength squad, which has been key to their consistency. Defender Jake O’Brien is a doubt, but the rest of the team is fit. The attacking trio of Lacazette, Benrahma, and Nuamah is expected to start, posing a massive threat to any defence.
