Currently, the Rouge et Noir take ninth place in the standings, thanks to six wins and seven draws.
The Bretons thus have twenty-five points on the clock, and a positive goal difference (4).
Neck to neck with the RCSA, Julien Stéphan's men have no other choice but to win, at the risk of falling into the second part of the table.
At the same time, the Bretons qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, eliminating Olympique de Marseille on penalties (1-1, 9-8).
Opposite, Montpellier is twelfth, with nineteen points.
In the championship, the Pailladins had two draws and a defeat, against OM (1-1), Brest (2-0) and LOSC (0-0).
This week, the Montpellier residents therefore have the opportunity to return to success, before hosting OGC Nice (Coupe de France) and Olympique Lyonnais.
Last September, the two teams parted with a goalless score, after the first leg.
