Rennes host Auxerre looking to bounce back from defeat
Rennes look to regain early momentum as they welcome an Auxerre side seeking consistency after five matches of the Ligue 1 season.
Rennes have made a strong start to the campaign, sitting 5th with 10 points from their opening five fixtures. However, they head into this clash seeking a response after their momentum was halted by a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Lyon, which followed consecutive victories over Le Mans, Angers, and Marseille.
Auxerre sit 10th with six points after five games, having experienced a mixed opening phase to their season. They arrive buoyed by back-to-back home victories, edging Nice 1-0 before overcoming Brest 2-1 last time out, but they are still searching for their first points away from home.
