Bastien Depechy on the whistle
The referee for this match on the 8th day of Ligue 1 will be Bastien Depechy (38 years old). This is a referee who is particularly successful at Stade Rennais, who has 6 wins, 3 draws and only one defeat in 10 matches played under his command.
Rennes must recover
The Rennais, who remain in 3 matches without success, are under pressure before this derby. Steve Mandanda’s teammates are in 12th place in the standings and must take points this Saturday or risk already being left behind in the race for Europe.
The Stade Brestois XI
The composition of the SB29: Bizot – Lala, Chardonnet, Le Cardinal, Amavi – Lees-Melou, Camara, Magnetti – Del Castillo, Ajorque, Pereira Lage.
Substitutes: Goudert, Ndiaye, Coulibaly, Martin, Fernandes, Faivre, Doumbia, Baldé, Camblan.
New week with 3 matches for Brest
After a 15-day break due to the international break, the Brestois will start strong again this week. Following this shock against Rennes, Eric Roy’s players will have to look forward to hosting Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday, before a trip to Reims next weekend in Ligue 1.
Rennes with Hateboer, Jota on the bench

A Breton derby to kick off the Ligue 1 day this Saturday
Hello and welcome to RMC Sport to follow the poster for the 8th day of Ligue 1 between Stade Brestois and Stade Rennais. After a sluggish start, Brest, otherwise brilliant in the Champions League, moved up to 11th place, just ahead of its opponent of the day. A new disappointing result could cost Julien Stéphan his place at the head of Rennais.
