Stade Rennais – OM: the official line-ups

This is the poster that will conclude this 26th day of Ligue 1 at Roazhon Park, Stade Rennais will host OM this Sunday evening (meeting to be followed live on FM). It is in a jagged form that the men of Bruno Génésio attack this clash of the French championship. After having chained 3 defeats in a row in the league, the Rennais are recovering little by little with two victories in a row against Clermont then against Nantes. But this dynamic was interspersed with an elimination in the Europa League against Shakhtar Donetsk and restoring doubt in this very complicated start to the year 2023 on the side of Brittany. “Putting the third shot” are the words of Benjamin Bourigeaud before this meeting against OM to try to revive his team and reduce the gap with his opponent in the evening. If successful they would come back to 3 points and put distance with Lille, 6th. For this, Génésio aligns his favorite 4-4-2 and a very attacking eleven with a Bourigeaud quintet, Toko Ekambi, Doku, Gouiri and Kalimuendo to hurt the Marseille defense. Santamaria will be there to keep the balance in the middle. Spence and Truffert on the sides of the defense.

Opposite it is clearly a team that comes out of two disappointments that move. With only the championship to play for, the Olympians must raise their heads at all costs to keep second place until the end of the season. With Cup hopes gone, OM must avoid a negative series and at the same time take a 4-point lead over Monaco and Lens who could not do better than a draw against Troyes and Lille earlier in this season. 26th day. Igor Tudor decides for this evening to do without Malinovskyi behind Sanchez, it is Guendouzi and Ünder who will support Sanchez. The Veretout-Rongier duo in the middle still present, Balerdi continues in the central axis surrounded by Mbemba and Kolasinac.
