The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the National 3 - Group C contest at Stade Municipal de Vitré offers a chance to lay down a marker. The hosts will hope that the Stade Municipal de Vitré crowd can inspire a performance, whatever the numbers suggest. Rennes II's away form is hard to read, but they will arrive with the belief that they can trouble their hosts. He was sacked by Fiorentina after Che Adams' late goal for Torino left them bottom of the Serie A table with three defeats out of three.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Vitré will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Rennes II will back themselves to cause problems on the break. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. Arbeloa was the driving force behind these moves, and Garcia certainly answers the issue of who their new centre-forward would be, following the departure of Raul Jimenez.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 1-1 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose.
