However, based on the current form and head-to-head records, Rennes should have more than enough to secure all three points and continue their strong start to the season.
This match promises to be an exciting encounter, with Rennes looking to showcase their prowess and Stade Brestois desperate to pull off a shock result and boost their confidence ahead of the Ligue 1 campaign.
