In a battle of the middle pack, Stade Rennais FC 1901 hosts RC Strasbourg Alsace as both sides seek to climb the Ligue 1 table following a disappointing spell. Strasbourg has been inconsistent, losing their last outing, while Rennais suffered a defeat in their previous match but still boasts an impressive home record. Strasbourg's midfielder, Dimitri Lemoine, will be key against Rennais' defense, looking for a much-needed breakthrough.
