How to Watch Rennes vs Lorient: Stream Ligue 1 Live, TV ChannelLorient hope to turn a new leaf as it opens the Ligue 1 campaign at RennesRennes hope to extend a six-match unbeaten streak against Lorient when Regis Le Bris makes his senior managerial debut at Roazhon Park. Les Rouges et Noir impressed en route to a fourth-place finish last season, laying a firm foundation for manager Bruno Genesio to get off to a fast start against Lew Merlus.
Lorient received a 5-0 rollicking at Roazhon Park when they visited last season, and it’s been almost a decade since Los Merlus last beat Rennes away.
