Angers host Rennes at the Raymond Kopa Stadium in Ligue 1 on Sunday, looking to arrest their three-game losing run.
After back-to-back wins over Montpellier and Nice, Les Scoïstes went down to Marseille, Strasbourg and Toulouse in succession, conceding three goals against each.
With eight points from 11 games, Gérald Baticle's side are second from bottom in the Ligue 1 standings, with only Brest (6) accruing fewer points than them at this stage.
In contrast, Rennes are flying high right now, winning four of their last five games, including each of their last three to sit in fifth position and compete for European places.
Les Rennais finished fourth in the league last season and seem to have continued from where they left.
Their tally of 23 goals scored thus far is only bettered by PSG while conceding only 11 times, lower than all sides bar three - PSG (5), Lens (8) and Marseille (8).
