Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Bordeaux in 13th and Rennes in 8th place.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only two days ago in the Europa League. That game, against Arsenal, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rennes.
Bordeaux form and stats
Bordeaux drew their last game, 1-1 away at Monaco. Before that game, the home loss against Montpellier with the scoreline 1-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with Bordeaux perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bordeaux as a small favourite), we find six games. Bordeaux has won 3 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
The Bordeaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 19 in 28 matches. On the other hand, Bordeaux have conceded 15 goals.
Rennes form and stats
Rennes play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Arsenal. Before that, Rennes secured a home win against Caen with the score 3-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 21 similar matches played by Rennes in our archives, and the results are: 8 wins for Rennes, 4 draws and 9 defeats.
Rennes find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 17 goals from 27 away fixtures. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Rennes have conceded 22 goals on the road.
Head 2 Head
Rennes - Bordeaux 2-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Bordeaux won 2 games, 5 matches ended with a draw and Rennes has 3 wins.Top Goalscorers
