RENNES (Interstat) — Rennes will host Lille on Sunday at Roazhon Park in a global football matchup between two sides looking to build momentum across all competitions. Rennes enters with a 3-3-2 record, while Lille carries a 6-3-4 mark. The home side will try to use its surroundings to offset Lille’s stronger overall results, and both teams will be aiming to turn recent draws into a winning run.
