Brest is still yet to win consecutive games this season but can end that drought at home to Rennes on Saturday.
One of France’s in-form teams will put its record to the sword as Brest hosts Rennes on Saturday in a clash between two teams that saw out a nine-goal thriller when they last met in April. Just two points separate the two teams as things stand, with Les Pirates boasting the advantage as things stand and hoping to hold their advantage after winning four of their last five across all competitions. Two of those victories have come in the reformatted Champions League, and a Rennes team with only one win from its last six games could make for easy prey at the Stade Francis-Le Ble.

Fans were not left wanting the last time these teams met earlier in 2024 as Lilian Brassier came up with all three points at Roazhon Park in April.
His 96th-minute winner was the punctuating point on a nine-goal affair that saw Rennes pull back from 4-2 down, only to see the points evade their grasp in the 96th minute:
Neutrals would love to see such entertainment again this time around, with eight different scorers getting on the goal sheet the last time these sides faced off (including one own-goal).
A place in the top half of the table awaits either side quick enough to take the advantage in Brest, though Eric Roy’ men have yet to lose at home since the opening day of the season.
That record could make for the perfect storm considering Rennes is yet to win on the road all campaign, losing each of its three road fixtures away to Strasbourg, Reims and PSG.
