Rennes will entertain Lille at Roazhon Park in Ligue 1 on Saturday as league action returns following the international break.

The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign, though they have drawn three of their four league games thus far. After a 5-1 win over Metz in their campaign opener, they have drawn three games in a row including a goalless draw in their previous outing against Brest.

The visitors returned to winning ways with a 1-0 home win over Montpellier last time around after suffering a 4-1 away loss at Lorient. Yusuf Yazıcı's second-minute opener was enough for them to secure a narrow win. With seven points to their name from four games, they are in fifth place in the league table, two places above the hosts who have six points to their name.

Les Rouge et Noirs are unbeaten in the league thus far, they have scored in three of their four games and have just one clean sheet in that period. They have suffered defeats in their last three home meetings against the visitors, which is a cause for concern.

Les Dogues are winless in their last seven away games in the league, scoring just four goals in that period. They have a good record in recent meetings against the hosts, scoring at least one goal in their last 12 games.

Considering the current form of the two teams, they are expected to settle for a low-scoring draw.
