Rennes form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Rennes's two home games in the Ligue 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Roazhon Park.

The fans are hoping that Rennes will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Lens (placed 3rd). Midfield player Santamaria got a match rating of 7.05 in that game, the max score being 10. Santamaria hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 62 successful passes (of 73 total).

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Ajaccio.

Rennes are traveling soon after this match as the Ligue 1 match at Troyes awaits in four days.

At Roazhon Park, Rennes has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

L W D L L

Brest form and stats

Brest are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ligue 1, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Brest's previous game was their home loss versus Montpellier (0-7). Brest lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-7 beating and focus on this one. The attacker Belaïli got a match rating of 7.02 in that game. Belaïli hit two key passes.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Angers SCO.

After this away game Brest return home for a Ligue 1 game against Strasbourg. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Brest has scored 5 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Rennes have pulled off a sequence of 11 consecutive matches without defeat (5-6-0) when facing Brest.
