Rennes will be looking to rekindle their hopes for Europe when they play host to Toulouse in their next Ligue 1 game. While ninth-placed Rennes target Europe, at 33 points, Toulouse are yet to confirm survival, and these two factors will play a big part in this game. Rennes are coming from a hard fought but futile outing at Monaco, where they suffered a 1-0 defeat. That was their third straight loss in all competitions, and they also failed to score in the three defeats. Rennes’ returns in attack in recent matches point to their struggles in that department. They managed more than a goal in just two of their last six matches and both teams scoring has been a rare occurrence. As they seek a return to winning ways, Rennes will be banking on their home form this season. All their last three matches were played away from home, and they can be confident of bouncing back here. Rennes have wins in five of their last seven home matches in all competitions. They lost just once in that run.

Toulouse’s last two matches represent some semblance of stability, having avoided defeat. They are coming from a 0-0 home draw with Strasbourg, having earlier beaten Clermont 3-0. With the four points picked in those two matches, the visitors start this game in 11th place, and just seven points above the relegation playoff position. Like Rennes, Toulouse will label this one a must-win game. They still need about 10 points to guarantee survival so, with six matches to play, this is a crucial game. Les Violets have suffered just two losses in their last eight matches, and this should boost their confidence ahead of meeting Rennes. A 3-0 win over Clermont in their last away game extended Toulouse’s good recent run on the road. They now have four wins in five away league matches. In the eight away league matches before beating Clermont, Toulouse had failed to register a win.
