Stade Rennes looks to keep the good momentum going and string together three consecutive victories in Ligue 1, especially at home, to push towards European spots. Clermont Foot takes on the role of David against Goliath to climb out of the bottom of the overall table.

Rennes is determined to secure the win from the start, launching an offensive onslaught that ensured they went into halftime with a 1-0 lead, despite a missed penalty against a Clermont Foot side that couldn't find a solution to the home team's attack. The second half was a formality for the hosts, who extended their lead while allowing the visitors to score a consolation goal, ultimately securing a 3-1 victory.

With this result, Rennes climbs to seventh place, eyeing the European spots after a rough December spell. Meanwhile, Clermont Foot remains at the bottom of the table, watching others pull away as they stay rooted to the bottom with 16 points this season.
