Match preview: Rennes vs Nantes
Rennes and Nantes are set to clash at Roazhon Park in a match for the 30th round of Ligue 1. The last encounter saw Nantes secure a narrow 1‑0 victory at home on 08‑12‑2024. Historically, Rennes has the upper hand at this venue, having won all four of their last meetings here. The most recent matchup at this stadium was on 01-01-2023, when Rennes triumphed with a score of 3‑1, with goals from Arnaud Kalimuendo (90 ′), Benjamin Bourigeaud (6 ′), and Désiro Doué (73 ′) for Rennes, while Pedro Chirivella (45 ′) netted for Nantes. The home advantage is likely to significantly impact this match, given Nantes’s contrasting performances when playing at home and away.
Team analysis: Rennes
Currently positioned 11th, Rennes has amassed 35 points from 11 wins, 2 draws, and 16 defeats. They suffered a loss at home against Auxerre (0‑1) in their penultimate match, but rebounded impressively with a 5‑1 victory against Le Havre in the last outing. The team has shown resilience on the road as well, with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses away; at home, they have achieved 7 victories, 1 draw, and 7 losses. In the last 10 home matches of this season, Rennes has earned 12 points from a possible 30, with 4 wins and 6 losses. Their attack has been relatively consistent, scoring in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In the current season, Rennes has conceded the first goal in 15 out of 29 matches and has failed to come back to win those games. A crucial point to note is that in their last 15 home matches, they conceded 6 out of their 16 goals during the final minutes (76’–90′).
Rennes enters this encounter following a remarkable 5-1 victory at Le Havre, with goals from Azor Matusiwa, Lorenz Assignon, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Mousa Tamari, and Carlos Andrés Gómez. The team usually deploys a tactical setup that favours an offensive approach, particularly through their right flank, aided by the advancements of Lorenz Assignon. However, they will be without Ludovic Blas and Alidu Sidu due to fitness issues.
Team analysis: Nantes
Nantes finds themselves in 13th place with 30 points from 7 wins, 9 draws, and 12 losses. They managed to secure a 1‑2 away victory against Nice in their last match after a disappointing 3‑2 defeat to Le Havre in the prior match. Nantes tends to perform better at home, with a record of 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses when playing in front of their own fans, scoring and conceding 18 goals in total. Conversely, they have only managed 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses away from home, scoring 20 goals but conceding 32. In the championship, Nantes has earned 9 points from the last 30 available, achieving 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 away matches. Their defensive solidity has been questionable, allowing goals in 9 of their last 10 games, yet their attack remains consistent, managing to find the net 7 times in the last 10 fixtures. Notably, 14 of the last 15 away matches in this competition have ended with more than 1.5 goals, evidencing their propensity for high-scoring encounters. Additionally, in 28 matches this season, Nantes has never managed to overturn a scoreline after conceding the first goal in 13 games.
Nantes comes into this match following a 1-2 win against Nice, with goals from Douglas Augusto and Matthis Abline. Often employing a 3-4-3 formation, Nantes emphasises a solid defence and quick transitions. The attacking line features Moses Simon, Meschack Elia, and Matthis Abline as key players responsible for their offensive strategy. The right flank has become a focal point for their attacking plays, largely due to the support from Sorba Thomas overlapping. The team will, however, be missing Francis Coquelin, Pedro Chirivella, and Fabien Centonze due to injuries.
