Nantes, compared to their opponent's recent win, are heading into this match following a defeat to PSG in the Ligue 1 on April 22, extending their winless streak to seven games. They have struggled to make an impact, failing to score in their last four away outings, a pattern they must change if they hope to succeed.

In this Ligue 1 showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Rennes and Nantes throughout the campaign. Rennes’s offensive unit, shaped by Franck Haise’s vision, has leaned on Esteban Lepaul, their main scorer, and Mousa Tamari, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Lepaul has already scored sixteen goals in Ligue 1 this season, while Tamari has been their leading creator in the competition with five assists. Supporting them are Breel Embolo, Ludovic Blas and Quentin Merlin, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Rennes’s attack.

Meanwhile, Matthis Abline and Mostafa Mohamed have been pivotal for Nantes’s attack, crafted under Vahid Halilhodzic’s leadership, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Abline leads Nantes’s scoring charts in Ligue 1 this season with five goals, and continues to shine as their top assist provider, with three goal-creating passes this term. Adding further support are Bahereba Guirassy, Chidozie Awaziem and Youssef El Arabi, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
