Rennes vs Saint Etienne

Rennes scored as many goals in this match as in their previous eight in Ligue 1 (5). This is the first time that the Bretons have scored at least five goals in a match since 13 August 2023 against Metz (5-1) and the first time that they have won by such a margin since 21 May 2023 against Ajaccio.

St Etienne have only taken one point from their first seven trips this season in Ligue 1 (D1 L6). Les Verts have only scored so few points after seven away games three times in their history in the top-flight (1 also in 1946/47, 1990/91 and 2008/09).

St Etienne have conceded 25 away goals in Ligue 1 this season, the highest total in the Top 5 European leagues.

Rennes face St Etienne for the 104th time in their history in Ligue 1 (W29 D31 L43), meaning they will have only faced Marseille (114) and Bordeaux (105) more often in the top-flight.

Rennes have won five of their last six matches against St Etienne in Ligue 1 (L1), as many as in their previous 20 (D12 L3). Four of these five victories have been without conceding a goal.

Rennes have lost their last three games in Ligue 1 without scoring – les Rouge et Noir have not been failed to score in four consecutive matches in the top-flight since May 2015 (4) and have not lost four games without finding the net since November/December 2007 (5).

St Etienne have won two of their last three games in Ligue 1 (L1), which is as many as in their previous 15, across the 2021/22 and 2024/25 seasons (D3 L10).

Rennes failed to score in their last Ligue 1 home game (0-2 v Toulouse) but have not gone two home games without scoring a goal since March/April 2023 (2).
