Montpellier, just like Rennes did not have a very fruitful preseason program on the pitch, managing just one win in their five matches in the period – the very last game of their preseason program. Montpellier will however like it that they are starting the season at home and with a slightly better run in Ligue 1 at home, they will be keen to make this count. They have three wins in their last 10 matches and two clean sheets in the process. In the last 10 matches, Montpellier have failed to score in just one and in their last seven Ligue 1 matches, they have lost just once and won four. They are unbeaten in the last six Ligue 1 matches at home and have scored in 14 of 15 Ligue 1 home matches. The downside for them is that they have not managed a win in six matches against Rennes, though four of the last six meetings between the two sides have ended in draws. Rennes on the other hand, have three straight losses going to this clash and just two wins in their last 10 matches. They have been poor defensively, conceding in 12 of their last 15 matches and in attack they have also not been so good, with just one goal in their last four matches. Rennes are unbeaten in five Ligue 1 matches but too many draws mean they have won just two of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches. They have one win in the last nine away Ligue 1 matches while the last 10 Ligue 1 matches away from home have yielded just two clean sheets. These two sides have played to three straight draws heading to this game, while four of the last six meetings have also seen four end in draws. Head to head, the two sides have faced off 41 times and Montpellier have won 13 while Rennes have 16 wins.
