For the 24th day of Ligue 1, Stade Rennais will be traveling to Ajaccio this Saturday. Coming off a victory against Lyon in the previous round, Rennes aims to build on this momentum. Philippe Montanier’s side, who had previously been held to three consecutive draws in the league, now holds a nine-point lead over the eighteenth-placed team.
With this trip to face the bottom team in the league, Rennes has the opportunity to kickstart a winning streak. Philippe Montanier will be able to rely on the talents of his new signing, Paul-George Ntep. The French-Cameroonian winger made his debut for Rennes against Lyon last weekend and has been included in the squad of 18 players for the trip to Corsica.
Additionally, Ghanaian international John Boye returns to the squad after missing the previous match against Lyon. However, Cameroonian defender Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik will be absent due to a thigh injury. Furthermore, Jonathan Pitroipa, the Burkinabé striker who was close to leaving the club during the winter transfer window, has once again been left out of the squad by Philippe Montanier.
