Genoa faces Rennes in the last friendly of the preseason. Kickoff at 6 p.m. at ‘Roazhon Park’. For the Grifone it will be a particularly significant test before the first official commitments: the Coppa Italia debut on Aug. 15, followed a week later by the home match against Lecce at the Ferraris for the first day of the championship.

Beye is banking on Kalimuendo and Blas in attack. In the midfield, Santamaria in the box, with Al Tamari and Merlin on the flanks, while the defense will be headed by Jacquet.

Vieira chooses Vitinha up front, with Venturino, Thorsby and Ekhator providing support in the three-quarter. Masini and Frendrup to make up the midfield hinge, while in defense Sabelli and Martin will act as full-backs.

Probable lineups

Rennes (3-5-2): Samba; Rouault, Jacquet, Brassier; Al Tamari, Rongier, Santamaria, Fofana, Merlin; Blas, Kalimuendo. Coach: Beye.

Genoa (4-2-3-1): Leali; Sabelli, Marcandalli, Vogliacco, Martin; Masini, Frendrup; Venturino, Thorsby, Ekhator; Vitinha. Coach: Vieira.
