Auxerre comes into this match in decent shape, having won their last game and avoided defeat in four of their last five. Rennes, on the other hand, is struggling for form, having lost their last three matches in a row.

Looking at their recent meetings, the games have been quite open. Their last match finished in a high-scoring draw, and some of their past encounters have seen plenty of goals, though others have been very tight. This suggests another match that could go either way.
