Rennes to win the game and both teams to score
Auxerre into the game after having just failed to score in the recent home match. But they have delivered reasonably well on this front so far this season. This is the first time that also have not scored in the last seven league outings.

Auxerre: Gaëtan Charbonnier and Julian Jeanvier are the two players whose participation in the game would be very doubtful. Théo Pellenard comes in of the fixture as the only certain injury worry for the visitors.
