Rennes: Quick Goals and Nerve-Wracking Finishes
In their first three league matches, Rennes led by two goals in each game and failed to keep a clean sheet in any of them. Against PSG, they were pegged back after the break, with substitute Ferran Torres scoring twice in the final 20 minutes. Against Le Mans, history half-repeated itself: the visitors equalised, and it took a stoppage-time penalty from Esteban Lepaul to give Rennes all three points. Away at Angers, Frank Haise's side were two goals up as early as the 17th minute, but conceded before half-time there as well. Angers had 12 corners in that match to Rennes's six, and hit the crossbar late on.
Their first clean sheet came only in matchday 4, when Rennes beat Marseille thanks to a goal from Adrien Thomasson and moved up to first place. Brice Samba made several important saves that day. Eight days later at Lyon, Rennes conceded twice inside the first 30 minutes - both goals scored by Ernest Nuamah - and ended up losing 4-0. The match came three days after a trip to Graz in the Europa League. Rennes now have ten points and sit fifth.

Auxerre: 60% possession and a defeat, 30% and a win
Auxerre's strangest statistic this season is their possession numbers. Against Angers, Will Still's side controlled the ball for 60% of the match and lost, with both decisive goals scored by substitutes in the final 20 minutes. Against Nice it was the complete opposite: 30% possession, seven shots on target to four, and three points. Then Auxerre ground out a result against Brest - they were behind at half-time, levelled immediately after the break, and the match was settled by a Rafael Le Gée own goal seven minutes from the end. Auxerre are now on six points and sit tenth.
Still began the season at his former club Lens, and it did not go well. The club's record signing Arthur Piedfort handled in his own penalty area, Chryst Makoasso was sent off, and Auxerre conceded five goals. Away from home they are still without a point: eight goals have gone in against them in Lens and Lyon combined. In total, Auxerre have conceded 12 goals in five matches.
