This could be an interesting match as Rennes have their presumed home advantage while Saint-Etienne are ahead 4 points in the Ligue 1 table.
It's no vacation for neither Rennes nor Saint-Étienne as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
