Paris FC manager Liam Rosenior has warned about the speed and experience of Stade Rennais FC ahead of Sunday's Ligue 1 fixture. His assistant Kalifa Cissé also praised the overall quality of Stade Rennais FC' squad from goalkeeper to attack.

"We know it will be a very difficult match," said Rosenior. "They have taken a lot of points." This analysis comes as Stade Rennais FC, led by Franck Haise, approach this away game on the back of a 2-1 Europa League win over OFI Crete on Thursday. Their top scorer this season, E. Lepaul, has already netted four goals in six appearances.

Kalifa Cissé echoed the sentiment about the opponent's quality. "From the goalkeeper to the striker," he said, also describing Haise as "a very good coach." Both Paris FC coaches therefore expect to face a confident Stade Rennais FC side, although Rosenior believes the difficulty will be mutual. His team has shown strong defensive solidity recently, conceding only 12 goals in 720 minutes of play, an average of 1.5 goals per game.

This match is an important test for Stade Rennais as they look to build momentum in the league. Their recent Ligue 1 form has been mixed, with a run of four defeats followed by a draw before the international break. They restarted impressively, however, by crushing Auxerre 4-1 last week with goals from Lepaul, Thomasson and a brace from B. Dia. Their last away trip ended in a 1-0 defeat at Laval.

The Stade Rennais FC starting lineup for Sunday is yet to be decided, but recent performances from players like A. Thomasson, who provided an assist and scored against Auxerre, or Mahamadou Nagida, who scored against OFI, offer options for Franck Haise. The match at Paris FC (8:45 PM) is the first in a demanding run of away games on the fixtures schedule. For Stade Rennais FC, the next fixture after this will be a trip to Lens on Saturday, October 12.

A win would allow Stade Rennais FC to solidify their league position and take valuable points ahead of upcoming challenges. The last meeting between the two sides in the league was last season.
