This Sunday afternoon, Stade Rennais will host OGC Nice in the 9th round of Ligue 1. The match is expected to be captivating. Rennes, currently struggling with four consecutive draws and sitting in a disappointing ninth place, will look to turn their fortunes around under the guidance of manager Habib Beye. In contrast, Nice aims to build on their recent success against Olympique Lyonnais, despite facing challenges in European competitions. The game will be available for live commentary starting at 5:15 PM IST on Footem.in.
For this match, Habib Beye is working with a full squad and has set up a 4-4-2 formation, featuring Samba in goal and a defensive line of Seidu, Jacquet, Brassier, and Merlin. Blas will play on the right wing, with Seko Fofana on the left. Rongier and Mahdi Camara will sit as central midfielders, while the attacking duo of Lepaul and Embolo will lead the front line. On the other hand, Franck Haise is missing several key players due to injuries, including Abdelmonem, Bombito, Dante, Moffi, and Ndayishimiye. He has opted for a 3-4-3 setup with Diouf as goalkeeper and a three-man defense consisting of Mendy, Oppong, and Bard. Clauss and Abdi will serve as wing backs, while Vanhoutte and Abdul Samed will control the midfield. Up front, Boga, Sofiane Diop, and Cho will spearhead the attack.
