Rennes

Rennes are without Esteban Lepaul because of an ankle injury, while Valentin Rongier is doubtful after taking a knock against Nice. Rongier is still expected to start in midfield, but his availability remains uncertain. Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal is also doubtful with muscular fatigue, adding to the uncertainty at the back.

In goal, Nicolas Lemaître looks set to keep his place after being handed his first start against Nice, with Brice Samba in contention for a recall after sitting out that game. Samba is improving, but his possible return depends on the final training session. Przemysław Frankowski is expected to start at right wing-back rather than Bryan Reynolds, while Sebastian Szymański is preferred to Adrien Thomasson in midfield.

Olympiakos

Olympiakos will again be without Ayoub El Kaabi, sidelined with a broken leg, and Yusuf Yazıcı, out with a knee injury, for the trip to Rennes. The rest of the squad is available, although Joel Roca and Marius Mouandilmadji are not in the squad after making three and two starts respectively in the last five matches.

Manolis Saliakas is preferred in defence to Marcus Pedersen, who has started at right-back three times in the last five matches, while Roman Yaremchuk is expected to lead the attack. Olympiakos sit fifth with nine points after beating Marseille 1-0 in their last outing in this competition.
