Mangane’s suspension finally confirmed

Ligue 1, Stade rennais - Lyon, Saturday, 21:00 CET. The CNOSF has decided.

Marseille - Rennes postponed sine die

The match between Olympique de Marseille and Stade Rennes, initially scheduled this Saturday, 21:00 CET, has been postponed because of the heavy rain pouring all day over the stade Vélodrome.

Is Rennes ready to grow?

Since the Pinault family took control, Stade Rennais has seen a lot of change in a few years, to become one of the most respected clubs in the country. After forty years of drought, Rennes finally reached the top of the league standings again. Waiting for recognition, favouring humility over the big ambitions. Is Rennes strong enough to be a leader ?

TITRE

« So far, we haven’t stolen anything! »

Is Rennes a default leader? Certainly not if you listen to the Breton players, irritated at the lack of recognition to their good beginning of the season. Saturday night’s game in Marseille is, for Rod Fanni and his team-mates, a big occasion to prove a point.
