Rennes form and stats

Rennes are steadily winning Ligue 1 games and points here at Roazhon Park. 12 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats is the summary from 17 games.

The Rennes followers enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Lorient and win 5-0. As mentioned above, Rennes "killed" Lorient in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Terrier has scored in six matches in a row. First-class! The striker Bourigeaud bested all teammates in that game and was awarded a match rating of 7.64 out of 10. Bourigeaud scored one goal.

Prior to that, an away loss at Strasbourg.

Rennes are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (46 goals in 17 games). From these home matches, Rennes have conceded only 13 goals.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Bordeaux that ended 2-2.
