A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Rennes fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Brest's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Champions League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sevilla.

Rennes faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sevilla (0-1). Preceding that match was a Ligue 1 defeat to Angers SCO (1-2).
