The Ligue 1 is back in action this weekend as Rennes take on Brest in a crucial fixture at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Sunday. Rennes have had their fair share of issues this season and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
Brest are currently in 11th place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been largely inconsistent this season. The home side suffered a 3-0 defeat against reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain and will want to bounce back in this match.
Rennes are in fifth place in the Ligue 1 table at the moment and have not been able to hit their peak so far this season. The French giants held Lyon to a 2-2 draw last weekend and will want to have a positive outing this weekend.
Brest vs Rennes Head-to-Head
Rennes have an excellent record against Brest and have won 11 games out of a total of 20 matches played between the two teams. Brest have managed only four victories against Rennes and need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
The reverse fixture between the two teams last year ended in a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Rennes. Nayef Aguerd scored on the day and is likely to play a pivotal role in this match.
