At the heart of this season when all trains arrive on time, the Stade Rennais is perhaps the only big name left behind. Stuck in the second half of the table, the Breton club is in thirteenth place, little in line with its initial ambitions. The fault lies in a particularly turbulent summer, marked by countless departures of historic executives (Bourigeaud, Terrier, the Doué brothers, etc.).
While Julien Stéphan’s position is necessarily weakened by this context, Rennes will have a response to give against Le Havre, this Friday, in a match a priori within its reach. On paper, at least. Because the HAC, sixteenth, no longer puts one foot in front of the other after a very interesting start. Didier Digard also has to face a heavy climate, between criticism and whistles.
“As long as it doesn’t come from my players or those who see me on a daily basis… It affects me less. They have the right to express themselves, we do a job open to the general public, we are exposed, but that is not what should guide our daily lives.” In short, a victory for Ciel et Marine would be a bright spot in this gloomy period.
The expected compositions:
Rennes : future.
Le Havre : future.
Where to watch the match?
This match between Stade Rennais and Le Havre AC counting for the 9th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast on DAZN this Friday from 8:45 p.m.
