Rennes form and stats

7-6-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rennes in their Ligue 1 matches away.

Rennes delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against PSG (placed 2nd) in their previous match; a Ligue 1 game. Midfield player Benjamin Bourigeaud was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.12/10. Bourigeaud served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 42 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bordeaux wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
