Rennes Analysis
Currently in 12th position, the home team has won 2 points so far. In the 1st round, they tied at home against Lens by (1‑1). In the following round, the final result was a draw by (1‑1), against Brest. This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when they play in front of their fans, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded, against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 home defeats, with 21 goals scored and 16 conceded. The team comes for this match after a home win against Rosenborg, by (2‑0). Rennes has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. The team has conceded goals to its opponent in 7 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their offense has been scoring with great regularity, as they have always scored at least one goal in the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have only turned the score around in 6 matches in which they have conceded the first goal.
Rennes enters this match motivated after a beautiful victory at home, by 2-0, against Rosenborg, counting for the Europa Conference League: Aguerd and Guirassy scored the goals that allowed Rennes to win the victory. The home club usually acts in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a more defensive style of play, attacking through the center aisle. Note that in this drawing the three players responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Kamaldeen Sulemana, Martin Terrier and Jérémy Doku. One of the main flaws of the home team is the lack of quality it presents in the finalization of dangerous situations. For this match, the home coach will be without Jérémy Gélin as he is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury.
Nantes Analysis
Currently in 5th position, the visiting team has won 4 points so far. In the 1st round, they tied in an away match against Monaco by (1‑1). In the following round, the final result was a victory by (2‑0) in a home match against Metz. This is a team that usually gets better results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with a total of 22 goals scored and 21 conceded. At home, they won 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 defeats, with a total of 18 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Nantes has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games.
Nantes comes motivated for this match after a home win, by 2-0, against Metz: Kolo Muani in the first half and Blas in the second scored the winning goals. The visiting team will act in a tactical design equal to that of their “enemy”, and should adopt a posture oriented towards the counterattack, in 4-3-3. Note that in this scheme, the three most advanced players will be Moses Simon, Randal Kolo Muani and Ludovic Blas. Coach Antoine Kombouaré should be very happy to have all the players for this third round of Ligue 1.
