A week before the Ligue 1 kick-off against Lille, the Stade Rennais was held to a draw by Caen (1-1) for their final preparation friendly. Rennes scored first through Bangoura (34’), butCaen replied only 5 minutes later with a goal by El Arabi (39’). For this final test, Antonetti had decided to leave M’Vila and Montaño (banned for the first Ligue 1 game) on the bench. Souprayen, injured against Warsaw on Wednesday, was rested and left on the bench for this game.

This Saturday (19:00), Stade Rennais will play their final pre-season friendly against Caen, in Ouistreham. For this final rehearsal, the “Rouge et Noir” will have to show much more than they did last Wednesday against Legia Warsaw.

Less than ten days from the Ligue 1 restart, the pre-season goes on at the Stade Rennais, with a second summer camp in Ouistreham (Normandy). At the end of this short, 3 days long training camp, the “Rouge et Noir” will play their final friendly game against Caen, this Saturday.

After a defeat against Brest last Wednesday (0-1), Stade Rennais lost again in a friendly game against another Brittany team, the FC Lorient this Saturday (2-1). Losing 2-0 at half-time after two goals from Ecuele Manga (37’) et Gameiro (39’, on penalty kick), Rennes will wait the end of the second half-time to score with Brahimi (90’). Despite an increase in the level of aggressiveness, the score will remain the same during the 30 minute extra time period.

After the defeat against Brest in the last friendly, Frédéric Antonetti is in doubt. The Stade Rennais manager is convinced his team won’t be at its full potential for the restart of the Ligue 1 season. Mainly because of recurrent problems in front of the goals, but also due to the absence of several player.

Rennes has been defeated by Brest (0-1) Wednesday evening, for their third pre-season friendly. A game in which Antonetti could try a few changes to his usual starting line-up, with Dalmat – a new signing – and Brahimi included in the starting eleven. The attacking line was composed of Bangoura, Montaño & Marveaux.

After a first success against Laval (3-0), the Stade Rennais will meet Brest this Wednesday at the Stade Municipal, Combourg (18:30). Less than three weeks before the Ligue 1 restarts, the “Rouge et Noir” are expected to confirm their improvement.
