Rennes, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Havre AC in their last league game, Rennes will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Havre AC, who had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Manager Julien Stéphan will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 10 of their 11 played at Roazhon Park this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 6 league games.
Benjamin Bourigeaud will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Rennes.
Clermont Foot, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Brest will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Clermont Foot. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Brest's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Supremo Pascal Gastien will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 6 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 9 of their 10 games this season.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. They will not be pleased with their form in the league this season having managed just 3 wins from the 21 matches they've played so far.
On an individual basis, Shamar Nicholson will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Clermont Foot's last 6 league games.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-3 win for Rennes.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Roazhon Park, Les Lanciers have been unable to break through the Rennes defence and find the back of the net. Rennes will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Les Lanciers. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Les Rennais have shown they know their way around the Clermont defence having scored 13 times against them in those 5 matches.
Clermont has a poor track record in the league when they visit Rennes, losing in their last 2 games.
With only Enzo Le Fée (Hamstring) and Fabian Rieder (Foot) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Julien Stéphan will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Clermont manager Pascal Gastien has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
