The team continues to chase the leader. Currently, they are two points behind PSG and are in fourth place. In the last round, Liam Rosenior's side hosted Auxerre and confidently defeated them 3-0.

Rennes vs. Strasbourg: Match Prediction
In the upcoming match, I give a slight edge to the hosts. Despite the guests' decent form and their position in the top four, Strasbourg, although not often losing away, has only won two of their last seven away league games, both against weaker opponents – Metz (1-0) and Paris (3-2).
Meanwhile, Habib Beye's side has lost just once in their last seven home Ligue 1 matches (to Nice, 1-2). This season, they have already defeated top French teams at home – Marseille (1-0) and Lyon (3-1). Furthermore, Rennes has not lost to Strasbourg at home in their last five league meetings – 4 wins, all with clean sheets, and 1 draw.
My prediction – Rennes with a handicap (0)
