In their last six Ligue 1 home matches, Rennes racked up five strong wins, but no draws as they lost once. They scored 14 and conceded three goals.

Qualifying for Europe was a target going into this season, and Rennes are keeping their eyes on the prize.

Auxerre have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Strasbourg by 1-0. Disappointment followed, going down 2-1 against Lyon, and 0-2 against Marseille. Auxerre claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Ligue 1. The scoreline from these matches reads 11 goals conceded and six scored.
