It's the return of Ligue 1. After an eventful international break, French clubs are returning to the championship. This Sunday, Lille OSC hosts Stade Rennais at the Stade Pierre Mauroy as part of the 12th day of Ligue 1.
Fourth in the standings with 19 points on the clock and only one point behind third-placed Olympique de Marseille, LOSC hopes to reach the podium at the end of this day. But for that, Bruno Génésio's men will have to win against SRFC before a European week which promises to be decisive.
On the other hand, Stade Rennais is entering a new era with the arrival of Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli on the bench of the Breton club. The former OM manager will aim to turn around the SRFC and impose an offensive playing identity on it. Rennes is slipping in the rankings and is currently in 13th position.
