Stade Rennais will host Montpellier at the Roazhon Park on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side are enjoying a strong run of form at the moment and are now pushing for the European spots in the league table. They beat Olympique Lyonnais 3-2 in their last match, with Martin Terrier and 18-year-old Desire Doue handing Les Rennais a three-goal lead as they headed into the break before their opponents scored two second-half consolation goals.
Stade Rennais sit ninth in the league table with 25 points from 19 matches. They will be looking to continue their good run of results this weekend.
Montpellier have also picked up important points in recent weeks and remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They played out a goalless draw against Lille in their last match and will feel gutted not to have come away with all three points after playing the entirety of the second half against 10 men.
The visitors sit 12th in the league standings with 19 points from 19 matches and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
