Stade Rennais is preparing to face Paris FC in the capital for the eighth day of Ligue1, and coach Franck Haise is benefiting from two good news before this trip. After a convincing 4–1 victory against AJAuxerre the previous weekend, the Rouge et Noir want to consolidate their newfound form. The two confirmed absences from Paris FC, NhoaSangui and JonathanIkoné, offer an additional advantage to Haise, who will be able to count on a more complete squad for his team.
NhoaSangui, left back of Paris FC, must exclude himself from the meeting. The young defender has previously suffered a thigh injury and suffered a relapse during a friendly match during the international break. According to *L'Équipe*, he will be unavailable for several weeks, which is a hard blow for the Parisian club. JonathanIkoné, for his part, is also injured in the thigh and will not be able to participate in the game against Stade Rennais. These two major packages considerably reduce Paris FC's choice of alignment.
Paris FC is not only counting on these two absences. MosesSimon, a winger who returned to team training after an illness which prevented him from playing during the last trip to Lorient, remains uncertain for the match. His presence is not yet confirmed, which leaves the capital club with a potentially diminished squad. This situation creates an opportunity for Stade Rennais, which will be able to exploit the weaknesses of the Parisian defender.
Stade Rennais, for its part, has just consolidated its squad after the victory against Auxerre. The Breton club is seeking to maintain its momentum and avoid any rise from Paris FC, which is now in difficulty. Haise, aware of his opponent's situation, plans to take advantage of these absences to impose his game and continue his progression in Ligue1.
In summary, Paris FC presents itself in the capital with two confirmed absences and a third uncertain, while Stade Rennais, after a great victory, wishes to confirm its return to form. The meeting at 5:15 p.m. on Sunday promises to be decisive, and both teams will look to take advantage of the circumstances to place themselves favorably in the race for first place.
