Rennes - Auxerre prediction, H2H and probable line-ups - April 6, 2025
The clash between Rennes and Auxerre in the 28th round of the French Championship will take place on Sunday at the Roazhon Park. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good chance of success.
Match preview
Rennes continues to stay in the mix for European competitions, albeit with a noticeable gap from the competitors. Nevertheless, with a strong finish to the campaign, the Bretons are quite capable of challenging for the coveted spot. In the second half of the season, Julien Stephan's charges have improved — the team has won five out of the last eight matches in Ligue 1, losing only to powerful opponents: Paris Saint-Germain (1:4), Lille (0:2), and Lens (0:1).
In the last round, Rennes confidently dealt with Angers away, which is rare for the team, as most of their points traditionally come from home games. This season is no exception: 22 out of the 32 points "Les Rouge et Noir" have gathered at their own stadium.
Auxerre continues its confident climb up the Ligue 1 table, extending its unbeaten streak to three matches — two "clean" victories and a draw. In the last round, the team narrowly defeated Montpellier away (1:0), allowing them to secure a spot in the top ten and pull away from Rennes by three points.
Interestingly, both clubs have scored an identical number of goals this season, but Auxerre has conceded slightly more — by two goals. The team has picked up a decent pace: unbeaten in six of the last seven Ligue 1 matches (three wins, three draws), demonstrating reliability and balance between the lines.
Probable line-ups
- Rennes: Brice Samba – Hans Hateboer, Anthony Rouault, Lilian Brassier – Lorenz Assignon, Kazeem Olaigbe, Jaouen Cisse, Seko Fofana, Adrien Truffert – Mohamed Meite, Arnaud Kalimuendo
- Auxerre: Donovan Leon – Fredrik Oppegard, Clement Akpa, Gabriel Osho, Jubal, Ki-Jana Hoever – Amad Traore, Keven Danoua, Elisha Owusu, Gaetan Perrin – Theo Bair
