In a weekend match in week 1, on Sunday Aug 7th, Lorient will travel to Rennes to battle Rennes in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 1 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 28 degrees, which may be tiring for the players. Rennes has not played yet this season, and neither has Lorient.
Rennes is playing their first match this season after last season’s 4th place finish, while Lorient starts the year after ending last season in 16th place.
