Nantes, Recent FormNantes will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Havre AC. During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 10 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Antoine Kombouaré will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Les Canaris, having gone without a home league win in their last 7 games and losing the last 7 games in a row at Stade de la Beaujoire.
Rennes, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Rennes players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Toulouse. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Toulouse, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Ludovic Blas will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Nantes in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Rennes.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-1 win for Rennes.
The Nantes defence has struggled against Les Rennais in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games. Playing away from home, Rennes have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Nantes.
Rennes has won the last 3 games they've played against Nantes in the league.
Nantes manager Antoine Kombouaré has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ignatius Ganago (Cruciate ligament), Tino Kadewere (Calf), Bastien Meupiyou (Knee) and Moses Simon (Broken foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rennes manager Julien Stéphan ahead of this clash, with Adrien Truffert (Muscle) missing out, which gives Stéphan a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
