Head-to-head statistics Rennes - Auxerre
Stade Rennes Team Overview
🔴 Rennes currently sit 10th in the league standings, struggling to secure victories as most of their matches have ended in draws, including the last three fixtures. While Habib Beye's side have avoided defeat for some time, their point tally remains unimpressive. Their goal difference is also negative at 9:10.
⚫ Before the international break, Rennes recorded a string of three consecutive draws, sharing the spoils with Nantes (2-2), Lens (0-0), and Le Havre (2-2). Notably, in their last outing, the "Red and Blacks" were two goals up and on the brink of victory but allowed their opponents to stage a comeback, resulting in a deserved draw.

Auxerre Team Overview
🔵 Auxerre have only secured two wins this season, both at home and by the narrowest of margins. The rest of their fixtures have ended in defeat. To be honest, there's a lack of stability not just in their results but also in their on-field performances. From game to game, there's a constant sense of disarray, especially in their attack, which has managed just five goals across seven matches.
⚪ Auxerre's last two matches ended in losses to PSG (0-2) and Lens (1-2). While the defeat to the Parisians is somewhat understandable, they could have at least fought for a draw against Lens on home turf, especially considering their opponents were down to ten men from the 73rd minute.

🎙 Habib Bey commented on the recent break in the championship: “It was refreshing to take a break to deeply analyze and assess everything we've experienced since the start of the championship and during our preparations. It was an interesting and valuable time. With less focus on the tournament, we had time for both the players and the coaching staff. I reviewed all our matches since the start of our preparations, allowing us to work on those aspects. I don't want everything to be questioned. This team has only one loss, only Paris Saint-Germain are in a similar situation. We also have four draws, and there are some positive moments. I can say that we need to improve our streaks, enhance the quality of our matches, and understand why our stability in terms of match quality is declining.”
❔ Polish defender Przemysław Frankowski played for his national team against New Zealand during the international break and sustained a hamstring injury. It's too early to determine its severity, so his availability for the upcoming match is uncertain.
❌ Glen Kamara will be unable to assist his team as he remains sidelined with a leg injury. He last played for the Finland national team in September of this year. Upon returning to his club, he continues his rehabilitation.
Auxerre
❌ The participation of Moroccan midfielder Oussama El Azzouzi and forward Lasso Coulibaly in the upcoming match is in doubt. They have been sidelined with Auxerre for several weeks, and there is no precise update on their health status.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Eric Wattellier. On average, across a span of 100 matches, he shows 2.91 yellow cards per game, with an average of 21 fouls. In the last 7 matches in Ligue 1, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Rennes average 1.9 per game, while Auxerre average 2.4. The teams commit fouls moderately, and the referee tends to show a limited number of cautions. Therefore, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Auxerre have been struggling offensively this season, scoring only five goals in seven matches, which averages out to 0.7 per game. Their away form is particularly poor, making a bet on Auxerre's individual total under 1 appear promising.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The corner stats for both teams are quite similar. Rennes average 4.4 corners per game, while Auxerre average 4.6. These figures are in line with the league average, so we expect around 9 corner kicks in total from both teams. We recommend betting on total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
This season, Auxerre are clear candidates for relegation from France's top division-struggling in attack and with a defense that is falling apart, though they don't concede excessively. Rennes average just 1.3 goals per match, which aligns with their defensive strategy. We predict a goalless draw in the upcoming match, so our main bet is on total under 2.5 goals.
