🔎 Overview
The Breton Derby returns as Lorient host Rennes at the Stade du Moustoir. Lorient, newly promoted from Ligue 2, are eager to prove they belong back in the top flight. However, their season began with a narrow defeat at Auxerre, raising concerns about their ability to adapt quickly to Ligue 1’s intensity.
Rennes, meanwhile, started strong with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Marseille despite going down to ten men. That resilience highlights the character and determination of Habib Beye’s squad, who have European ambitions this season.
Both clubs enter the match with contrasting momentum: Lorient fighting for their first points, Rennes aiming to build on early success.
