Rennes Preview – Will the Red and Blacks get back to winning ways?
Rennes have enjoyed a fine Ligue 1 season so far, winning nine of their opening 20 fixtures. Bruno Genesio’s side have lost seven and drawn four of the other 11. The Red and Blacks are currently in fourth place on 31 points.
Despite their lofty league position, Rennes have been in poor form in recent weeks. Since an incredible run of eight wins and two draws from ten Ligue 1 games, the Brittany club have picked up just one victory from their last five, suffering four defeats along the way.
Rennes head into this one having lost three league matches on the spin since a thumping 5-0 win at St Etienne on 5th December. They will be desperate to get back to winning ways in this one.
Bordeaux Preview – Can the Girondins pick up a precious three points on the road?
Bordeaux picked up a sensational 10-0 Coupe de France win over Jumeaux M’zouasia in mid-December, but Vladimir Petkovic’s side have gone on to lose the next three league and cup matches. They have secured just one league victory since October.
Things have not quite worked out for Petkovic at the Matmut Atlantique up until now, as Bordeaux, who finished 12th last term, are down in 17th place at the halfway stage. The Girondins have won three, drawn eight and lost nine of their 20 league fixtures.
