Stade Rennais, currently 5th in Ligue 1, will host FC Nantes, who sit 17th, this Sunday at 5:15 PM for a derby match that is always keenly anticipated by both sides, though with vastly different stakes. While Rennes can dream of Champions League qualification, Nantes finds itself on the brink of disaster. This situation might be a source of joy for Breton supporters. While everyone obviously hopes for a victory that would push their bitter rivals even further down, opinions are more divided.

Stade Rennais, 5th in Ligue 1, hosts FC Nantes, 17th, this Sunday at 5:15 PM for a derby that is always highly anticipated by both camps, but with diametrically opposed stakes. If the Rennais can dream of the Champions League, the Nantais are on the verge of the abyss. Is this a cause for joy for the Breton supporters? While everyone obviously hopes for a victory that would push their bitter enemies a little further down, opinions are more divided.
