Ligue 1 leaders Niceand Rennesclash at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday night in one of the biggest games of the weekend in the French top flight.
The hosts' are the only side still unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season, with head coach Francesco Farioli working wonders since arriving on the Côte d'Azur this summer.
While PSG, Marseille, and Monaco are Nice's most high-profile scalps, their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Clermont Foot last weekend was the clearest indication that they can compete for the Ligue 1 crown this season as they look to reclaim their top spot with a positive result on Sunday.
As for Rennes, European endeavours have seen last season's fourth-placed team struggle for consistency in domestic circuit this term, as they were pegged back to settle for a point in the 1-1 draw against Strasbourg last time out .
The visitors' are in risk of falling behind in the race for European football places as they currently sit eighth in the league table with just 12 points from 10 matches.
