Rennes travels to Nice this Sunday at the end of the 11th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
It’s a poster that sounds like a duel of credible outsiders. And against all expectations, it is not Stade Rennais, but OGC Nice which approaches it with the costume of favorite. Astoundingly second in Ligue 1 behind Paris Saint-Germain, the Riviera club has the opportunity to regain its first place in the event of success against Rennes this Sunday evening (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
If his training is based on remarkable solidity, Francesco Farioli is not making any plans for the comet. “Rennes is a team with many principles similar to ours. She looks to press high in a big way. She has great courage. It’s a team that plays and always looks to play. She has quality in her offensive players, players who build the play from behind. She can hurt you with her individualities, she can also be dangerous with the organization that her trainer manages to give her. I believe that the results they have achieved in recent years are not the result of chance and, in any case, they continue to have results this season, because they are a team that has only lost twice in 10 days of L1 (against Paris and Lorient, editor’s note), which shows that it is solid and competitive, like the results it is achieving in the Europa League. »
Opposite, Bruno Genesio is no less complimentary about his opponent of the day. “It’s a very pragmatic and efficient team. It’s up to us to work, we must find solutions. We work for that with the players. I can tell you that there is buy-in from the guys, you could see it this morning with 100% involvement from the players present. This is why I am rather optimistic, even if I am also realistic and lucid about our situation which does not correspond to our workforce and our objectives. » The stage is set.
