This could be an interesting match as Reims have their presumed home advantage while Rennes are ahead 8 points in the Ligue 1 table.
Reims and Rennes should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Reims form and stats
Overall Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Reims are 3-7-2 (wins-draw-losses).
In their previous game, the manager D. Guion led his Reims to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Strasbourg. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Auguste-Delaune II. In the match before that, Reims hosted Nice and drew the game 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Reims perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Reims as a small favourite), we find ten games. Reims has won five of these, drawn four and lost one.
Reims have scored 10 league goals here from 12 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Reims have conceded only 7 goals.
Rennes form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
Rennes aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 180 league minutes without a goal. Raphinha was the last player to find the net.
Two travels in a row for Rennes, whose manager J. Stéphan could celebrate last time after the Coupe de France win against Belfort. A draw for Rennes before that, at their own venue hosting Brest (0-0).
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Rennes in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Rennes, three draws and four defeats.
The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).
