Struggling Sochaux and Rennes will be looking to their respective lone strikers to bring a bit of spark to kick-start the season.

For the hosts, Cedric Bakambu, who has two goals at home so far this term, starts up top with Sebastien Roudet likely to support him as much as possible.

The away team's forward, Mevlut Erding, has three goals for Rennes thus far and the performance of Julien Feret will be vital as the midfielder also has three strikes.

Sochaux: Pouplin; Corchia, Kante, Peybernes, Sauget; Doubai, Contout, Traore, Camara, Roudet; Bakambu

Rennes: Costil; Theophile Catherine, Mavinga, Kana-Biyik, Boye; M'Vila, Pitroipa, Feret, Il Makoun, Pajot; Erding
