Match Stats

Nice:

Nice will look to maintain their unbeaten home record in Ligue 1 this season as they welcome Rennes to the Allianz Riviera. Franck Haise’s side sits in sixth place, within striking distance of the top four, buoyed by a nine-match scoring streak in the league. Despite a nervy Coupe de France win over lower-tier Corte, Nice’s resilience and solid home form remain key strengths. Les Aiglons have consistently performed against Rennes in recent years and will aim to capitalize on their visitors' poor away form to kickstart 2025 on a high note.


Rennes:

Rennes enter the New Year with a fresh outlook under Jorge Sampaoli, whose tenure has seen three wins in five matches, including a Coupe de France triumph over Bordeaux. However, their Ligue 1 struggles persist, particularly on the road, where they remain winless this season. Currently in 12th place, just four points above the drop zone, Les Rouge et Noirs must reverse their fortunes away from home to avoid further slipping into the relegation battle. Friday’s match presents a daunting task, but a victory would provide a much-needed boost.
