Rennes, Recent FormAn important point secured against Paris Saint-Germain will have left Rennes quite happy with their 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 34%, while racking up 3 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Paris Saint-Germain, who had 15 shots on goal with 3 on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Julien Stéphan will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 5 goals in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 11 of their 12 played at Roazhon Park this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Martin Terrier will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Rennes.
Lorient, Recent FormThe Lorient squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Nantes, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Nantes' tally of 7 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Régis Le Bris will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 6 of their 11 games this season.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
Eli Kroupi has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Rennes.
Lorient recorded a 2-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Rennes have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Les Merlus.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Lorient has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Rennes in 3 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.
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Bonke Innocent (Thigh), Benjamin Mendy (Hamstring), Igor Silva (Knee) and Montassar Talbi (Shoulder)
