Will Still’s difficult start to the season continues with RC Lens’s trip across the north to face Stade Rennais. Les Sang et Or will be hoping to continue their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 after defeating Angers SCO, Stade Brestois, and battling to draws against AS Monaco and Olympique Lyonnais.
Still will likely make three changes to the team that recorded a 0-0 draw away to Lyon. On the flanks, Jhoanner Chávez and Ruben Aguilar will come into the team in place of Deiver Machado and Przemysław Frankowski who have been dropped to the bench.
Anass Zaroury makes his full return to the pitch after he suffered an injury during the match against Monaco. A long absence had been feared but he will likely start in place of David Da Costa who has reportedly not made the journey with the Lens squad.
