Two meetings were held this Sunday afternoon, on the occasion of the 28th day of Ligue 1. If Rennes joined the result in the manner against Montpellier, Saint-Etienne could not snatch the victory against Bordeaux. Here's what to remember.
The Rennes on their way
Eliminated Thursday in the semi-final of the Coupe de France, in which he was the title holder, by Saint-Etienne (2-1), Stade Rennais has only the Championship to hope to embrace a European destiny at the end of the season .

At Roazhon Park, the Bretons have shown themselves worthy of their aspirations in front of Montpellier (5-0). Julian Stéphan's men made the difference thanks to Faitout Maouassa (9th) and Adrien Hunou (28th), Flavien Tait (68th; 87th, sp) and Romain Del Castillo (73, sp). After a delicate period, marked by two small successes in seven matches (2 draws, 3 defeats), Rennes confirms its resumption of form, with a third success in a row. In addition, the Red and Black take advantage of Marseille's faux pas (2nd, 56 pts), which conceded a draw against Amiens on Friday (2-2), to return to six points from 2nd place.
The MHSC, on the other hand, confirms its shortcomings when traveling. This 4th away straight away leaves the HĂ©raultais (8th, 40 points) 5 lengths from 4th place occupied by Lille, who receives Lyon in the evening.
Greens and Girondins frustrated
In recent weeks, Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux have not won in Ligue 1. Seven unsuccessful games for the Greens (two draws, five losses), no victory over the last four days on the Girondins side (three draws, one defeat). What could be more logical, therefore, that no winner should come off when the two teams meet.
This Sunday, at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, they left on a parity score (1-1) which does not satisfy anyone, in the fight for retention for ASSE or in the hope of hanging Europe for the Bordelais.
