Angers and Rennes trade tackles in a Ligue 1 matchday 27 clash on Sunday at the Stade Raymond-Kopa.
The hosts will look to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat suffered at the same venue against Monaco a fortnight ago. Mika Biereth broke the deadlock for Monaco in the 72nd minute before Maghnes Akliouche made sure of the result with an 88th-minute penalty.
Rennes, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at Lens. Wesley Said broke the deadlock in the opening moments of the second half, and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
