Arriving at the Rennais bedside before the international break, to take over from a disembarked Julien Stéphan, Jorge Sampaoli did not perform a miracle for his first Breton. The challenge, it must be said, was significant: in Lille, facing a team full of confidence, undefeated for 10 matches in all competitions.
The logic was thus respected in the lair of the Mastiffs. For their 80th birthday, the latter won, by the smallest of margins, thanks to a goal from the Kosovar will-o-the-wisp Zhegrova, decisive just before the break (1-0, 45e). The climax of a meeting without much relief otherwise, a match during which the Rennes will mainly focus on defending and playing as cleanly as possible.
For Losc, the operation is good: strong in this 11e consecutive outing without setbacks, the Northerners remain in the wake of OM, one length from the third step of the podium. Stade Rennais, on the other hand, has a third defeat and could find itself in the red at the end of the weekend.
