Bad Sunday for Stade Rennais, still beaten without scoring in Lille, and which has also probably lost its best defender, Alidu Seidu, for several months, who could be the victim of a ruptured cruciate knee ligament.
Rennes is flirting with the red zone, one point ahead of Nantes (16th) and Angers (17th), two teams it will meet after receiving Saint-Etienne on Saturday November 30 (5 p.m.) at Roazhon Park.

Stade Rennais attempted 4 shots (1 on target) in Lille, its lowest total in a single match in Ligue 1 this season, and only touched 5 balls in the opponent’s area: also its lowest total since a trip in Guingamp in January 2017.
Lille – Rennes generated the lowest total of Expected Goals (0.58) – the goals expected according to the chances created – for a European top 5 match this season, a sign of the sad spectacle offered on the day of Losc’s 80th birthday.
306
Rennes have not scored in their last three matches in Ligue 1, their longest silence in the competition since a series of four matches between May 2, 2015 and May 23, 2015.
It’s been 306 minutes since SRFC has found the net, since Carlos Andres Gomez’s goal against Le Havre (1-0) on October 25.

Stade Rennais lost for the 8th time away from home in Ligue 1 in 2024 (4 wins, 3 draws): only Montpellier (9) has a higher total of away losses in the calendar year.
The SRFC is one of the 4 teams, with Strasbourg, Montpellier and Saint-Etienne, to have still not won a single away match this season (4 defeats at Strasbourg, Reims, Paris, Auxerre and 1 draw at Brest).
11
Rennes have just 11 points after 12 Ligue 1 matches: their lowest total at this stage of a top-flight season since 2002/03. At the same stage, when Vahid Halilhodzic arrived at the SRFC bedside, the Rouge et Noir club had 8 points. He finished 15th at the end of the season.
