Ligue 1
The matches between Lens and Rennes were incredibly close in the previous years, as four of the last five H2H matches ended in draws. Lens is the only team to win in that period, while, interestingly, Rennes haven't beaten their next opponent since 2015. In the only meeting this season, it was 0-0.
Lens team overview
Lens are the most pleasant surprise in Ligue 1 this season. Although most saw the team from Stade Bollaert-Delelis in mid-table, they are currently the only side capable of putting real pressure on PSG in the championship race. With almost half of the season left, Pierre Sage's team is only two points behind the reigning champions. Lens won 12 of the last 13 matches across all competitions. In the previous game, they won 4-2 on the road in the cup against Troyes. Lens created clearer chances throughout the match and fully deserved their place in the quarterfinals.
Lens weren't too active in the final days of the winter transfer window. They only added Allan Saint-Maximin on a free transfer from Mexican America. The winger debuted for Lens in the cup tie against Troyes and could get his first start on Saturday afternoon.
Samson Baidoo, Jhoanner Chavez, Jonathan Gradit, and Regis Gurtner are injured and will not play in the upcoming Ligue 1 round.

Rennes team overview
Rennes have a solid season. They are not good enough to challenge the top-four spot, but should fight for the Europa or Conference League places. However, Rennes were terrible lately with three defeats in a row. In the most recent outing, Habib Beye's team lost 3-0 on the road in the cup against Marseille. The hosts ended with xG of 2.02, while the guests had 0.40, so Rennes were not even close to reaching the quarterfinals.
Rennes had big problems on both sides of the pitch in the previous weeks. Rennes have a 0:9 goal difference in the last three matches in all competitions and will have to do much better to meet their season goals.
Rennes could have a full squad available for the trip to Lens. Glen Kamara is the only one injured, but even he could recover in time for Saturday afternoon.
