Early Saturday evening, as part of the 9th round of the French Ligue 1, Strasbourg will play at home with Rennes. The forecast for this meeting is presented to your attention.
"Strasbourg"
The Strasburgers simply failed the starting fifth part of the season, scoring only 5 points in eight rounds, now occupying only 18th place in the standings, that is, staying in the relegation zone. Julien Stefan's team still hasn't tasted victory this season, but the coach still retains his post. In September matches, Strasbourg drew twice, away with Brest (1-1) and at home with Clermont (0:0), and in the last round lost the away match to Montpellier (1:2).
"Rennes"
Things are going better for Rennes, although they also do not meet the initial expectations – 8th place in the standings, with 12 points scored in the asset. The last time he lost was on August 27. The Red-Blacks started the Europa League group stage with an away victory over AEK Cyprus (2:1), after which they defeated Auxerre in the championship at home (5:0), and in European competitions they shared points with Fenerbahce of Turkey (2:2). In the last round, the team of Bruno Genesio achieved a guest draw with Marseille (1:1).
