Rennes and Auxerre meet often and the results rarely repeat. Last February, Rennes went to Auxerre's home and crushed them 3-0, but before that Auxerre had come to this stadium and won, and had also thrashed Rennes 4-0 at home. This time the picture is different, because Auxerre are confident from winning three matches in a row, while Rennes have just lost in the league and have not won in three matches. Rennes are still the team that dominates possession in almost every match they play (53.6% in the last ten games) and create shots on target consistently, but the problem is a defense that leaks at certain moments, especially after halftime when they concede unusually often. Auxerre come with a different kind of speed, clearly less possession than the hosts (43.7%), but they use counterattacks to their advantage. Their away games tend to be open and have goals at both ends. If Rennes score first, the game should flow the way the hosts control the ball and keep pressing, but if Auxerre score first, the game will turn into a trade of punches where both sides have space to run into, which is the moment Auxerre are good at and could make the scoreline wider than many think.
