Rennes-Reims, the probable formations

Rennes and Reims face each other in the 23rd day of Ligue 1. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at Roazhon Park. Thirteenth in the standings, the hosts have failed to move further away from the relegation zone after the defeat in the last round against Lille, remaining just five points off the third-last spot. Even more critical is the situation of the guests, who are 14th and in a deep crisis of results, with a 11-day winless streak in the league.

Coach Beye deploys a 3-4-2-1: Samba in goal, three-man defense with Oooh, Brassier and Jacquet. In the midfield, Cissé, James, Assignon and Truffert, while in the three-quarter, Al-Taamari and Blas support Kalimuendo's only forward. 

Genesio lines up with a 4-2-3-1: Diouf between the posts, four-man defense with Akieme, Kipré, Gbane and Buta. In the midfield, Patrick and Edoa provide balance, while in the three-quarter Diakhon, Nakamura and Ito support the’single point Diakité. 

Probable lineups

Rennes (3-4-2-1): Samba; Oooh, Brassier, Jacquet; Cisse, James, Assignon, Truffert; Al-Taamari, Blas; Kalimuendo. All. Beye.

Reims (4-2-3-1): Diouf; Akieme, Kipre, Gbane, Buta; Patrick, Edoa; Diakhon, Nakamura, Ito; Diakité. All. Genesio.
