AJ Auxerre welcomes Stade Rennais FC 1901 to the Stade de l'Abbé-Deschamps, where a vital 3-point haul is up for grabs as Ligue 1's unpredictable bottom-half battle intensifies. Auxerre, buoyed by a recent win against Toulouse, aim to extend their 5-game unbeaten run against a Rennes side looking to recover from a disappointing 2-0 loss at Strasbourg last time out. Star striker Amine Gouiri will be key for the visitors as they face Auxerre's resilient defence.
