In their last match, they drew with Le Havre at home (1-1), after having won away in the previous match against LOSC Lille (0-2). This is a team that is not heavily affected by the home factor, showing similar results at home and away, as in their last 30 matches they record 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, scoring 26 goals and conceding 28, compared to 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses at home, scoring 28 goals and conceding 15. In the league, Rennes has secured 18 points from a possible 27, after 5 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their last 9 matches played at home. The team conceded goals to their opponents in 7 of the last 10 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity; however, their attack has been consistent, having scored in 9 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In their home games for the league, there is a tendency for goals, as 6 out of 9 games finished with over 2.5 goals. Out of 18 games in this competition, they conceded the first goal 7 times and managed to turn the score around only 2 times. In the last 17 home matches across all competitions, there are 2 notable periods: they scored 12 of their 29 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes; they conceded 7 of their 17 goals in the same timeframe.

This is a team affected by the home factor, performing better when playing with the support of their fans, as in their last 30 matches they record 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses as visitors, with a total of 17 goals scored and 20 conceded. At home, they have achieved 9 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses, scoring 39 goals and conceding 18.
