Rennes have opted for a front three of Ola Toivonen, Paul-Georges Ntep and Pedro Henrique as they welcome Bordeaux in Ligue 1 this evening.
The three strikers are to be given support from a three-man midfield made up of Fabrice Fernandes, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Vincent Pajot, while Romain Danze will skipper from the home side from defence.
Visiting Bordeaux have landed upon a more conservative 4-4-2 formation, which sees Isaac Kiese Thelin and Henri Saivet lead the attack.
The away side are to feature the creative qualities of both Wahbi Khazri and Clement Chantome in the middle of the park.
Rennes: Costil; Mbengue, Diagne, Armand, Danze, Fernandes, Doucoure, Pajot, Henrique, Ntep, Toivonen
Bordeaux: Carrasso; Mariano, Pallois, Sane, Poundje, Chantome, Biyogo Poko, Plasil, Khazri, Saivet, Thelin
