Hosts Reims have continued with their strike partnership of Nicolas De Preville and David Ngog in attack as they welcome travelling Rennes to the Stade Auguste Delaune in Ligue 1 this evening.
Olivier Guegan has opted for a four-four-two formation that sees his two strikers supported by a midfield that includes the attacking flair of Prince Oniangue and Diego Rigonato.
The visitors have elected to go with a similar setup away from home, which sees their forward line being led by Kamil Grosicki and Jeremie Boga.
Les Rouges et Noirs are to be skippered by experienced defender Sylvain Armand, while youngster Yacouba Sylla has been handed another start in the middle following some impressive showings so far this campaign.
