Stade Rennais FC host Auxerre at Roazhon Park on Sunday, October 11th (17:15 local time) in Ligue 1. The Breton club aims to bounce back from a mixed run of form, having suffered two consecutive losses in friendly and league action.
Stade Rennais FC' last outing was a 1-0 friendly defeat away to Laval on October 2nd. Prior to that, they were thrashed 4-0 away to Lyon on September 19th. This LLDLW sequence over their last five matches, with just one win, highlights the need for a response. The home win against Marseille (1-0) on September 11th remains their last league highlight.
Opponents Auxerre arrive on a three-match winning streak, having beaten Nice, Brest and Clermont Foot. Stade Rennais FC' last starting lineup against Lyon featured Samba in goal, with a defence of Frankowski, Cresswell, Ait Boudlal and Merlin. Rongier anchored the midfield ahead of a four-man line comprising Nordin, Thomasson, Camara and Mayenda, with Benjamin Dia as the lone striker.
To return to winning ways, Stade Rennais FC will rely on their top scorer this season, E. Lepaul, who has three goals in five appearances. The probable lineup and squad statistics are available via squad and stats.
The stakes are high for Stade Rennais FC as they look to halt this negative run on Sunday afternoon at Roazhon Park.
