REN
Rennes take on Brest, hoping to close in on top six.
Rennes aim for consecutive victories and a shot at the top six as they host Brest, who are eager to break their winless streak at Roazhon Park this Sunday at 16:05 [GMT+1].
Rennes
Rennes ended a three-game losing streak after a 3-0 win over local rivals Nantes last time out. After a goalless first half, Les Rennais sprang to life with goals from Arnaud Kalimuendo, Benjamin Bourigeaud, and Amine Gouiri.
This victory saw Rennes climb to 7th place on the Ligue 1 table, now holding 42 points. They are six points behind fifth-placed Nice. Rennes have had a mixed season, which included a dip to 14th place in mid-November that led to Bruno Génésio's dismissal and Julien Stéphan's appointment.
The 43-year-old Stéphan has managed to turn things around, although recent struggles since March have left the side with two wins in seven matches. They host Brest this weekend, hoping to reduce the gap to the top six to just one point.
Les Rennais have been dominant in past meetings with Brest, losing just one competitive game against them—a defeat that dates back to 2011. They boast an 11-game unbeaten run against Brest. Following a goalless draw in the reverse fixture, Rennes will be eager to earn a win on Sunday.
A 4-2-3-1 formation with Kalimuendo in attack was seen against Nantes and is expected to be used against Brest. Regarding availability, Adrien Truffert is the only absentee for Julien Stéphan's side ahead of this clash.
Brest
Brest are heading into this game on the back of consecutive defeats [DWWLL]. The Pirates lost 2-0 to Monaco last time out, with Denis Zakaria [40'] and Takumi Minamino [48'] finding the net. In a game marked by Eliesse Ben Seghir [90'+1] and Wilfried Singo [90'+5] being sent off for Monaco in the final moments.
Eric Roy's side is in 3rd place with 53 points [15W, 8D, & 7L], but they remain in danger of losing out on Champions League qualification as they are only one point above fourth-placed Lille. They return on the road on Sunday against Rennes, looking to avoid consecutive away defeats after losing to Lyon on their last trip.
However, the Pirates have never won at Roazhon Park, picking up just three draws while losing every other game. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Steve Mounie in attack was seen against Monaco and is expected against Rennes. Meanwhile, Lilian Brassier [calf injury] is in doubt for the weekend’s game.
