Rennes vs Auxerre

Rennes have navigated a mixed spell, recording three wins and a draw in their six most recent outings, though they suffered a heavy defeat away to Lyon and a loss in a recent friendly. At home, they have shown resilience, remaining unbeaten in Ligue 1 since August. Auxerre have been more inconsistent, losing three of their last six matches, but they enter this fixture on a positive note having won three consecutive games across league and friendly action. While they have struggled defensively in their recent away league trips to Lens and Lyon, their scoring output has been steady.

The history between these two sides is competitive, with Auxerre holding two wins to Rennes' one, alongside a draw. Their most recent encounter in February 2026 saw Rennes secure a victory, reversing the trend of their previous meetings where Auxerre had enjoyed greater success.

• C. Makosso is reported suspended for Auxerre.
• Six additional players are ruled out for Auxerre due to injury.
• Rennes currently sit 5th in the league table compared to Auxerre in 11th.
• Rennes have shown strong defensive form at home in Ligue 1.

Rennes hold the advantage of a more settled squad and a higher league position as they welcome an Auxerre side dealing with several absences. While Auxerre have found form recently, the disruption in their lineup, combined with the difficulty of their recent away league fixtures, suggests Rennes are well-placed to control the match at Roazhon Park. A home win appears the most plausible outcome given the current circumstances.
