Two teams in strong form meet in France
Stade Rennes FC host Le Mans FC in France's Ligue 1 2026/2027 campaign at Roazhon Park on Sunday.
Franck Haise's Rennes side have found a more disciplined set-up in 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 formations that allows them to play a more structured, balanced and possession-based game than before. Esteban Lepaul has been on fire for Les Rennais in recent weeks, netting 6 of their 11 goals in their last 5 matches and looking an absolute danger in the box.
Le Mans are playing some serious football in 2026/2027 too, with Patrick Videira's side pressing hard, playing compact, intense football. Louis Mafouta has provided 3 goals in his last 5 for Les Sang et Or, while Dame Gueye and Adil Bourabaa have both made excellent impressions since joining Ligue 1 2026/2027.
Le Mans have good momentum
Tactical contrast
This match looks very interesting on paper as Rennes will try to control the pace and Le Mans will try to upset them with their pressing, counter-pressing and direct style.
Odds and form
The hosts are the odds-on favorite at 1.46, while Le Mans are 6.25 outsiders. Rennes are probably the more likely winner in this game, but Le Mans have some momentum and have scored some goals on the road already this season, so it could be a lot closer than the odds suggest.
Rennes have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5, while they are entering this matchup after two straight losses. Le Mans have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5, a much more solid run of form that deserves more respect here.
Don’t miss the value on Le Mans
Rennes have a less impressive record than Le Mans' over the last 10 games, but a lot of that was a blip when they went 3-3 away to Galatasaray, lost 2-1 to Brentford at home and 1-0 away to Sunderland.
Backing Le Mans to take something away from this clash makes sense, but so does the Over 2.5 goals option at 1.57 given the goals Rennes have been scoring and conceding recently.
- Their 3 most recent results are a 3-3 draw away at Galatasaray, a 2-1 home loss to Brentford and a 1-0 away loss to Sunderland.
- Le Mans have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 0 of their 3 road trips across all comps and they have only conceded 3 goals away.
