Rennes's results this season are not much different from previous seasons, after 23 rounds of league, they have achieved 11 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses, ranking 5th in the league with 37 points, and only 1 point away from Strasbourg in the former European theater, which shows that if the team can grab the points in time, there is still a chance to rush into the European theater.

In terms of recent situations, the performance of Greater Paris is very stable, and the main players can play, the only thing to worry about is that in 5 days, the team will play the Champions League round of 16 with Real Madrid, the team faces a double-front battle, and the energy will inevitably be involved; and Rennes' performance has always been very jumpy, and the team's ability to play in different places is also mediocre.
