- Team Form and Momentum: Rennes comes into this match having struggled recently, with three consecutive losses. Meanwhile, Saint-Étienne managed to secure an important win against Montpellier last week.

Given this discrepancy in performances, Rennes may be favored to take the upper hand in this match.
- Managerial Impact: With Jorge Sampaoli now in charge of Rennes, the managerial change could have a significant impact. His first game in charge ended in defeat, but a home match could provide the perfect opportunity for the team to respond positively. Sampaoli is known for his tactical approach, and he will likely work on improving Rennes’ attacking play, which has been lackluster in recent games. The effect of a new manager’s influence could be crucial in this match.
- Head-to-Head Record: Rennes has had a strong record against Saint-Étienne in recent years, winning five of the last six encounters. This historical advantage could give the home side additional confidence heading into this game. Saint-Étienne has not managed to score against Rennes in their last two meetings, which suggests the home team’s solid defensive capabilities.
- Injuries and Suspensions: Rennes will be without key defender Alidu Seidu, who will miss the remainder of the season due to an ACL injury. While his absence is a blow to the defense, the return of left-back Adrien Truffert should provide a boost. For Saint-Étienne, the absence of forward Augustine Boakye due to illness could impact their attacking options, especially considering the team’s already limited goal-scoring potential away from home.
