Struggling Rennes, currently enduring a tough phase, will host Reims at Roazhon Park in Ligue 1 this Sunday.
Reims, experiencing a resurgence under manager Will Still, stand level on points with Lille, who secure a Champions League spot. However, Rennes, having secured top-four finishes in the last two seasons, now find themselves nearer to the relegation zone with a fresh manager at the helm. Bruno Genesio departed from his role after Rennes became the first team to lose against Lyon this season, just before the international break.
Julien Stephan, returning for a second stint as manager, steps in to guide Rennes through a challenging start, leaving them only one point above the relegation spots. With just two wins in their first 12 matches, Rennes currently sits 13th, raising concerns after a defeat to Lyon, the league's struggling side.
Ligue 1 has seen a lack of consistent performances across teams, evident in the narrow five-point gap between European qualification spots and the relegation zone. Hence, Rennes' season holds possibilities in both directions. Genesio's departure was anticipated due to a string of poor results, with just one point collected from five matches, making a managerial change likely during the international break.
Rennes has grappled with disciplinary issues, having a player sent off in each of their last three games, despite a victory over Panathinaikos in one instance. Although they've gathered eight of their 12 points at home, addressing defensive weaknesses, particularly the failure to keep a clean sheet at Roazhon Park this season, becomes a key focus for Stephan.
