Ligue 1

Ligue 1, Stade rennais 1 - 2 Marseille. Exciting in the first half, Stade Rennais paid the strong price for its mistakes in Marseille. Not clinical enough when they could have extended their lead after Doumbia scored the opener, the Rennais then saw Marseille come back and win the game following collective mistakes by the Rouge et Noir.

Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Marseille, Sunday 21:00 CET. Arrived in Rennes this week, Mevlüt Erding will be the main attraction of this game against Olympique Marseille. The French-Turkish striker could even start the game in attack.

Before the reception of Marseille on Sunday, Yann M’Vila, the Stade Rennais international is in great form. With the Rouge et Noir, he targets the third place in Ligue 1 and vows to win the Coupe de France “and enter in the club’s history”.

Ligue 1, Caen 0 - 2 Stade Rennais. As in the Coupe de France, the Rennais didn’t miss their first match of 2012 in Ligue 1: the objective to finally win in Normandy has been fulfiled. Hesitant at the beginning of the match, the Rennais showed themselves more determined for most of the game.

Ligue 1, Caen 0 - 2 Stade Rennais. By scoring early through a genial inspiration by Kembo, Rennes had probably made half of the way at the Stade Michel d'Ornano. The Bretons would double their lead by Montaño, and managed to win in Caen for the first time in their history in Ligue 1.

Ligue 1, Caen - Stade Rennais, Saturday 21:00 CET. With the multiple departures to the AfCON(Boye, Hadji, Mangane et Pitroipa), Frédéric Antonetti is deprived of two major players. However, he will be able to enjoy three returns from suspension and the presence of Abdoulaye Sané, the Reserve’s best goal scorer with seven goals in CFA2.

This Saturday in Caen, Stade Rennais enter the second half of the league season. In order not to fall, the Rouge et Noir, fifth in Ligue 1, are betting on consistency, physical form and the experience from last season.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 0 Bordeaux. On the verge of implosion before the game, Rennes will enter the winter break with renewed serenity after a good victory against the Girondins. Rennes, shaky in the first half, was much more enterprising in the second, thanks in part to the entrance of Brahimi at half-time.

Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Bordeaux, Wednesday 19 :00 CET. For their last game in 2011, Stade Rennes will be under pressure to achieve a good result against Bordeaux. Mandjeck is the only absent while Mangane could return to the starting eleven.

Ligue 1, Ajaccio 1 - 0 Stade Rennais. Rennes struggles against the strugglers. Beaten by Ajaccio at the term of a very disappointing game, the Bretons – already beaten in Nice and held to a draw by Brest – are progressively losing touch with Ligue 1’s leading teams.
