Bordeaux form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Bordeaux have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 8 defeats from 17 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Bordeaux with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Dijon game, 48 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Olympique Marseille game.

Bordeaux are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Lorient. Ahead of that match, Bordeaux lost 0-3 at home to Monaco.

Bordeaux aren't scoring a lot here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique in the league, with only 15 goals from 17 games. On the other hand, Bordeaux have conceded 21 goals.

Rennes form and stats

As the visiting team in Ligue 1 matches, Rennes have produced an overall stat of 7-6-4 so far.

Impressive finishing from Gerzino Nyamsi, Clément Grenier, Flavien Tait and Martin Terrier (2) secured the home win 5-1 against Dijon in their previous game. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Angers SCO.

As you can tell from the results above, Rennes was very dominant against Dijon, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with Gerzino Nyamsi, Clément Grenier, Flavien Tait and Martin Terrier (2) providing the goals.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Rennes have scored 25 goals in 17 league games away. It's not easy to score on Rennes as they have only conceded 16 goals from these away games.
