A quick glance at the Ligue 1 standings imply an advantage to Rennes when they arrive at Lorient. Nevertheless; let's play before points are handed out!
- Lorient is in the worst form (0-2-4)
- Rennes is in the best form (5-1-0) in Ligue 1
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa Conference League.
1 - 0 - 0 with 3-0. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Rennes when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Rennes play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Lorient form and stats
Lorient have collected 11 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 3-2-1. Lorient has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager C. Pélissier and the players.
No payout for Lorient in their previous match, an away game at Angers SCO that ended in defeat 0-1. Midfielder Enzo Le Fée was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.85 (out of ten) in that game. Fée hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 68 successful passes (of 74 total).
Preceding that match was the home game against Brest that was lost 1-2.There will be little rest for Lorient after this match as they are travelling to Troyes for a Ligue 1 game in only three days.

Rennes form and stats
There's been little loot from Rennes's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Ligue 1. Rennes only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.
Rennes played 3-3 against Vitesse in their previous match. Drawing 3-3 against Vitesse after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager B. Génésio needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Vitesse was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Gaëtan Laborde had a super day against Vitesse scoring three goals, but the draw result hurt. Attacker Gaëtan Laborde got a player rating of 9.44 in the game. "Man of the match" Laborde scored three goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Montpellier in the Ligue 1.A quick return to home after this game, as Rennes are hosting Lille in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
Rennes find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Rennes have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
