As the English Premier League prepares to kick off on Sunday, Montpellier and Rennes have both had successful starts to their campaigns in France's top-flight.

Montpellier's victory over Lorient last weekend was a significant boost for the team, with the club looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season. The win saw Montpellier move up to third place in the league table, just behind PSG and Monaco.

Rennes, meanwhile, were also in fine form as they defeated Le Mans 2-1 last week. The victory meant that Rennes have now won three consecutive games in all competitions, and they sit at the top of Group D in the Coupe de la Ligue.

The two teams will face off against each other in a crucial match-up this weekend, with both sides hoping to continue their winning ways. Montpellier will be looking to build on their win over Lorient, while Rennes will be determined to keep their winning streak going.

Overall, it looks like both Montpellier and Rennes will be key players in the upcoming Premier League matches, and their recent success could bode well for their chances of achieving success in the competition.
