The Ligue 1 clash, Stade Rennais FC vs. AS Saint-Étienne.
Get ready for an electrifying clash as high-flying Rennes, fresh off a dominant 5-0 victory, host relegation-threatened Saint-Étienne at Roazhon Park this Saturday evening.
Rennes
Ten-man Rennes picked Lorient apart in a 5-0 win on home soil last weekend. Rennes had a two-goal lead after the first forty-five minutes, thanks to goals from Benjamin Bourigeaud (17') and Martin Terrier (19').
Two minutes after the break, Traore (47') extended the lead to three before goals from Flavien Tait (79') and Gaetan Laborde (90'+3) wrapped up the five-goal haul at Roazhon Park, despite the numerical deficit. The victory comes after back-to-back defeats, DWLLW, and leaves Rennes in 3rd place with 59 points from 18W, 5D, and 11L.
Rennes are six points adrift of second-placed Marseille (65 points) and a win here could see the Red and Blacks cut the gap to three points if Lyon comes out on top in the Clash of the Olympics. Rennes have lost only one of their last ten games against St. Etienne in Ligue 1 (5W, 4D, 1L), winning three of their most recent five by at least a three-goal margin.
They will be eager to add to the tally on Saturday, knowing they have the second-best attack in Ligue 1, behind PSG (76 goals), having hit the back of the net 75 times this season. However, the Red & Blacks have the worst defense in the top-five, having conceded 36 goals, - an average of 1.06 goals conceded per game.
Bruno Génésio is expected to piece together a 4-3-3 formation, with Serhou Guirassy at the center of the attacking trio. Center-back Nayef Aguerd is ruled out for the weekend’s game after picking up a red card against Lorient in the 58th minute.
Saint-Étienne
Saint-Étienne's efforts to escape the relegation-play-off spot were thwarted after a 4-1 defeat to AS Monaco at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard last weekend.
Le Verts remain in 18th place on the Ligue 1 table, with 31 points from 7 wins, 10 draws, and 17 losses, while looking to return to winning ways. Their recent form reads LLWDL.
With several goal-bound efforts denied by the woodwork, Pascal Dupraz will be hoping for better luck on Saturday when the Greens take on the Red & Blacks. Only PSG (19) has hit the woodwork more often than St. Étienne (15) this season.
The 59-year-old deployed a 3-4-1-2 formation with Wahbi Khazri, who scored the club’s only goal against Monaco, and Denis Bouanga in attack last Saturday. Pascal Dupraz is expected to keep both the formation and personnel intact for this weekend's clash against Rennes.
