Stade Rennais is looking to bounce back from their recent defeat against LOSC, and their upcoming match against Stade de Reims presents an opportunity to do so. Despite being without key players Samba, Wooh, and Blas due to suspension, SRFC is still favored to win against a struggling Reims side.
Habib Beye’s team will rely on winter recruits Jérémy Jacquet and Lilian Brassier to shore up their defense. Brassier, in particular, has been praised by Beye for his leadership qualities and passion for the game. The former Marseille defender will be looking to prove himself against Reims and demonstrate that his difficult spell at OM was an anomaly.
Beye’s comments about Brassier’s qualities and his own role in giving him confidence have raised expectations, and it’s now up to the player to deliver on the pitch. SRFC supporters will be watching closely to see if Brassier can provide stability and mental toughness at the back.
While Stade Rennais is expected to win against Reims, the match is not without its challenges. SRFC’s recent defeat against LOSC highlighted the team’s fragility, and they will need to be careful not to let their guard down against a Reims side that is desperate for points.
A win against Reims would be a welcome boost for Stade Rennais, and would help to build momentum as they look to climb the Ligue 1 table.
