After their impressive 4-0 victory over Montpellier last week, Coach Habib Beye is expected to stick with the effective 3-5-2 formation that delivered success in the previous match.
However, midfielder Djaoui Cissé will be unavailable due to suspension after accumulating too many yellow cards over a 10-day period.
Long-term absentees Alidu Seidu and Dogan Alemdar remain sidelined and Rennes will need to adjust quickly as they aim to overcome these setbacks.
