Victorious (3-0) at Roazhon Park against Strasbourg, the Rennais of Bruno Génésio (5th) will stay on their lawn this weekend to try to block the way to Dogues du LOSC (6th) on the occasion of the 22And Ligue 1 day! Zoom on the compositions and the stakes of this big poster:

Rennes – Lille: At the gates of the top 5
Rennes on alternating current since the recovery
After 11 victories in Ligue 1 this season, Bruno Genesio’s men are only eight points from the qualifying places for the Champions League.
The Breton club falters yet between defeats and great victories since the start of the winter season. Despite a success (1-0) at Roazhon Park against the Parisians of Christophe Galtier, the Rennais were unable to confirm their state of form by losing by the same score at the Orange Vélodrome during the round of 16 of the French Cup against OM.
The Breton club also suffered another defeat (2-1) in the league on the lawn of Moustoir de Lorient before returning to victory this week with a comfortable score of 3 goals to 0 against Racing Club de Strasbourg still at the fight to stay in Ligue 1 next season.
Stade Rennais’ balance sheet and outlook therefore remain positive. at the start of this second part of the season and, it must be remembered, 10 victories have been signed at home against only 1 defeat and no less than 27 achievements for only 7 goals conceded in 11 days.
The French technician will have to compose without Martin Terrier (wounded) nor Kamaldeen Sulemana (transferred to Southampton against a check for 22 million euros) but with a Amine Gouiri on fire, supported by the young Desire Doue et Karl Toko Ekambi arrived on loan this winter from Lyon, the 4th best attack in Ligue 1 will have the arguments to be heard!
Top 5 goal for LOSC
Since we are talking about attack, Paulo Fonseca and his men will go to Roazhon Park in good shape and with the 5th best attack in Ligue 1 for a total of 35 achievements in 21 contested days.
The Mastiffs have as such crushed ESTAC twice, first in the Coupe de France (2-0) then at Pierre-Mauroy (5-0) last month. They then won their qualification for the round of 16 by winning (2-0) against Pau.
That said, this offensive efficiency may be tarnished by theabsence of Canadian serial scorer Jonathan David victim of a hand injury. The striker had also missed the deadline against Clermont this week and the Mastiffs only pocketed a single point by conceding a clean sheet on their lawn.
In the cages of LOSC, the departure of Leo Jardim to the Brazilian club Vasco de Gama was offset by the arrival of Benoit Costil from AJ Auxerre. Lucas Chevalier should a priori remain incumbent.
For this poster in Brittany, it will be for the Mastiffs of reduce the gap that separates them from the top 5 by returning to victory after a poor performance (1-0) at the Aiglons of OGC Nice.
