Rennes have performed better than Strasbourg so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
These teams have little in common geographically as Strasbourg have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Rennes form and stats
Rennes are steadily winning Ligue 1 games and points here at Roazhon Park. 9 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats is the summary from 14 games. Two home wins in a row for Rennes bring valid hopes of a third.
The Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 269 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ligue 1.
The Rennes supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Montpellier in Ligue 1 and win 5-0. A Coupe de France defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Saint-Étienne.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Rennes played a great game against Montpellier and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
A decent goal production from Rennes in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 14 league matches. On the other hand, Rennes have conceded 14 goals.
Strasbourg form and stats
Strasbourg have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 4-2-8 (14 played).
K. Zohi was the last player to score for the away team. Strasbourg haven't scored a league goal in the last 228 minutes.
Strasbourg are travelling again after losing away to Montpellier in their previous match (0-3). A draw for Strasbourg before that, at their own venue hosting Amiens SC (0-0).
It's a bit worrying for Strasbourg that their goalkeeper Matz Sels made eight saves in the Montpellier game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
The attacking power of Strasbourg when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. As opposed to that, Strasbourg have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.
