Ligue 1

Second in the standings with the best defence in Ligue 1, Stade Rennais are taking on Toulouse, third, on Sunday evening live on Canal Plus. An ideal occasion to impress the observers.

The Stade Rennais will face Toulouse, this Sunday at 21:00 C.E.T at the Stade de la Route de Lorient, as part of the Ligue 1 8th game week. A history of encounters between the teams.

The Stade Rennais reacted in the best of ways after their elimination in the Coupe de la Ligue, Wednesday evening in Guingamp, by winning in Nice. Caught up after quickly opening the score by Dalmat (7’), Antonetti’s men managed to make the difference at the end of the game, thanks to a goal by Montaño (77’).

Ligue 1, OGC Nice - Stade rennais, Saturday, 19:00. Sylvain Marveaux, doubtful during the week, is finally included in Frédéric Antonetti’s eighteen men squad travelling to the Stade Du Ray, Nice. There are no changes in the squad that held Paris to a draw last Sunday.

Stade Rennes are taking on the OGC Nice, Saturday, 21:00 at the Stade du Ray, in the Ligue 1 7th game week. A history of the previous encounters between the teams.

The elimination by Guingamp on Wednesday comforted Frédéric Antonetti in his opinion: Recruitment is necessary to reinforce an attack with no internal competition. As the game in Nice closes by, he gets more and more insisting.

Ligue 1, Paris SG 0 - 0 Stade Rennais. Rennes confirmed their defensive solidity by obtaining a goalless draw, on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes. Still unbeaten, the Bretons are third in the League, but they missed the occasion to place themselves as the Championship leaders.

Second in Ligue 1 and unbeaten, the Stade Rennais is in a learning curve according to Frédéric Antonetti. For him, Sunday’s game against the Paris SG is just another step in his young players’ progress.

Just as against Arles-Avignon 2 weeks ago, the Stade Rennais were unable to dictate the play. Facing Sochaux’ very good passing abilities, Frédéric Antonetti had to adapt his tactics. And the players’ good fortune did the rest.

LIGUE 1, STADE RENNAIS 2 - 1 FC SOCHAUX. Stade Rennais has won their first game at home with difficulty. After an early goal from Théophile-Catherine, the Red and Blacks moved back, and logically Sochaux came back on the score board just before half-time. Struggling against a playfull and technical Sochaux team, Frederic Antonetti's players finally got the three points at the last minute with a goal from Mangane. With eleven points in five games, the total is almost perfect... Unfortunately the style is not.
