Teams Comparison.

Despite the fact they are winless in their last seven competitive games (D4, L3), Rennes can take confidence from the fact that they have lost just two of their previous 15 Ligue 1 (L1) home fixtures (W7, D6, L2). Additionally, they have not been behind at half-time this L1 campaign (W4, D4). Coach Julien Stéphan will, however, be concerned that his side have kept just two clean sheets across their last ten home fixtures in the top flight. In fact, Rennes’ 1-1 draw in their last L1 home outing bore some significance, with that result making it six straight league games played here that featured both teams scoring.

Visitors Reims have seen seven of their eight games this L1 season produce under 2.5 goals, with at least one team drawing a blank on seven occasions. Six of their matches this term have also produced a goalless first half. Sticking with that potentially low-scoring theme, the visitors have seen over 2.5 goals in only three of their last 19 away league outings, while each of their last five L1 road trips have featured just one side hitting the back of the net. Nonetheless, Reims have conceded first in just 30.43% (seven) of their last 23 L1 away matches.

Quick Facts.

  • Reims’ Boulaye Dia has scored his two L1 strikes after the break. He also scored the opener in the last top-flight H2H.
  • Rennes’ top scorer M’Baye Niang has netted two of his three L1 goals in the ten minutes either side of half-time.
  • Rennes have scored under 1.5 goals in each of their last five L1 fixtures.
  • None of the last eight top-flight H2Hs held here have been goalless at half-time.
  • Seven of Reims’ last eight away league wins have been accompanied by a clean sheet.
