Having narrowly qualified for the European Cup last season, Olympique Lyonnais will travel to the pitch of a vengeful Stade Rennais on Sunday to start its 2024-2025 season.

Already a shock to negotiate well. Rennes host Lyon at Roazhon Park, Sunday August 18, to start their Ligue 1 season. Only 10th in the last championship, the Breton club wants to start better than a year ago, when it conceded five draws in the first six days. But it has weakened considerably this summer, losing Martin Terrier, Arthur Theate, Enzo Le Fée, Fabian Rieder, Jeanüel Belocian, Guéla Doué and recently his brother, Désiré, who left for PSG.
Conversely, several recruits from northern Europe have set up camp in Brittany. For their baptism of fire in France, they will face a Lyon team without Alexandre Lacazette and Rayan Cherki, who were rested after the Olympic Games. Les Gones are determined to resume the crazy pace that took them from last place in the championship to the Europa League last season. It remains to be seen whether Georges Mikautadze will be able to take over the attack in the absence of the OL captain.
