As the twelfth day of Ligue 1 approaches, during which LOSC welcomes Stade Rennais, the Professional Football League has revealed the identity of the referees who will take to the field.
The days are passing and the international break in November is soon coming to an end all around the globe. This is gradually bringing LOSC closer to its anniversary match, the reception at Stade Rennais this Sunday, November 24 (3 p.m.) as part of the twelfth day of the championship. At the age of 31,
Mathieu Vernice will referee this meeting between the Mastiffs and the Rennes. The eighteenth best referee of the 2023-2024 season will be accompanied by Florian Goncalves de Araujo et Julien Garrigues along the sidelines, as well as by Robin Chaparia in the shoes of the 4th referee. Hakim Ben El Hadj et Bruno Coue will be responsible for providing video assistance to the refereeing.
This duel between LOSC and Stade Rennais will be the sixth outing for Mathieu Vernice, who started his season in Ligue 1 with a draw between Montpellier and RC Strasbourg (1-1). He has less experience than most of his colleagues with 157 meetings led at the professional level. He has not yet crossed paths with the Mastiffs this season, and that is perhaps for the best. In four matches, the Lille team has not won once when Mathieu Vernice was on the whistle. The bad streak should be broken on Sunday.
- Toulouse FC – LOSC: 3-1, February 25, 2024

- Angers SCO – LOSC: 1-0, August 8, 2023
- Stade Brestois – LOSC: 0-0, January 11, 2023
The dynamic is not much more encouraging for Stade Rennais, which only emerged victorious in one meeting out of the five played with Mathieu Vernice at its head.
