Rennes, Recent FormRennes will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their away fixture against Lyon. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Lyon's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Julien Stéphan will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 9 of their 10 played at Roazhon Park this season.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Roazhon Park, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Benjamin Bourigeaud will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Rennes' last 6 league games.
Montpellier, Recent FormMontpellier will have been reasonably pleased with their 0-0 draw against Lille, not least because of the valuable point gained. In that game they recorded 40 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 0 of their 12 shots on goal.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Arnaud Nordin has given the travelling Montpellier support something to shout about on the road.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
When playing away from home in the league, La Paillade have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 matches against Rennes. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Roazhon Park, La Paillade have been unable to break through the Rennes defence and find the back of the net.
Rennes has had a good run of league results at home to Montpellier, winning their last 4 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 8.
Martin Terrier is on a hot scoring streak against Montpellier, having scored in each of Rennes' last 3 meetings with them.
With only Nemanja Matić (Muscle) 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.
Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
