Olympique Lyonnais hosts Rennes in unbeaten Ligue 1 clash

Olympique Lyonnais and Rennes are set to face each other at Groupama Stadium on September 19, 2026, in a fifth-round Ligue 1 fixture. Both teams enter the match unbeaten in domestic play this season.

Lyon currently sits third in the league standings with eight points. Their recent form includes a 3-1 victory over Auxerre and a 2-1 win against Anderlecht in the Europa League. However, the team faces challenges as coach Paulo Fonseca remains suspended until late November, and injuries such as Orel Mangala’s absence impact their tactical options.

Rennes occupies fifth place with seven points. They have maintained an unbeaten streak across all competitions, including recent performances against Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille. Led by Franck Haise, the squad features Esteban Lepaul, who has scored three goals in three league appearances. The upcoming match follows a period of high-scoring encounters between the two clubs at Lyon's home stadium.
