Rennes moved down one place on the Ligue 1 scoresheet as they were unable to score more at their Dijon clash. Dijon was coming off a high having won all their last four home game against Bretons. Rennes was looking to come back with a bang after the international break even though the squad was missing many key players like Renne's captain Damien Da Silva and Steven Nzonzi, both suspended. Faitou Maouassa and goalkeeper Alfred Gomis incapacitated and Eduardo Camavinga taking some time off to cool off. Julien Stéphan's men scored their first goal with the help of Clément Grenier pass, which was converted later by Martin Terrier. But later Dijion retaliated with Mama Balde pushing past Romain Salin in the 53rd minute.
