Guessand returns... OGC Nice's eleven for the penultimate chapter of the season in Rennes

With only two points separating second (OM) from sixth (Strasbourg), the race is closer than ever.

But beware of Rennes' surge of pride, a club that will want to play spoilsport at home, having had little reason to celebrate this season.

For this very important penultimate match, Franck Haise has chosen to repeat the 3-5-2 formation that he used against Paris and Reims.

With one major change: the return of Evann Guessand to the forefront of the Nice attack, after three matches started on the bench. Badredine Bouanani makes his fourth consecutive start, while Dante, who came on for around twenty minutes against Reims, is once again spared at kickoff.

The eleven: Bulka - Mendy, Bombito, Bard - Clauss, Boudaoui, Sanson, Rosario (c), Abdi - Bouanani, Guessand
