Rennes second, Puel in danger
Rennes bounced off the stomachs of Stéphanois (5-0) to take second place in Ligue 1, a defeat that could cost his place to Claude Puel, the coach of the Greens, on Sunday during the 17th day.
The Rennais are back, and the ghosts of Geoffroy-Guichard again. In the 1:00 p.m. match, the Bretons plunged the Greens back into doubts and last place, thanks to a terrier triple disheveling, including a delicious heel and a skylight.
Stade Rennais bounced back immediately after their midweek home defeat against Lille (2-1) and resumed their conquering march, however, a good distance from Paris SG, leader with eleven lengths in advance after their draw in Lens ( 1-1), Saturday.
After a resumption of two successes at the beginning of November, ASSE hit rock bottom with this third defeat sounded. In a stadium with closed kops, sanctioning the behavior of some of its supporters, the Greens ended up under the “Olé!” cruel of their public on the opposing passes.
Claude Puel’s position was threatened on Sunday evening. If some media announce his sidelining, discussions continued around his fate.
Height of misfortune for “Sainté”, Yvann Maçon scored a but gag against his camp, with a double pinball on goalkeeper Étienne Green and himself.
– Unrecognizable Niçois –
Saint-Étienne remains last, and Metz penultimate, another relegation corrected Sunday afternoon in Monaco (4-0).
ASM goes back to 7th place, with goals from Sofiane Diop, Kevin Volland (from penalty), Gelson Martins and Wissem Ben Yedder.
A little further west on the Côte d’Azur, Nice collapsed against Strasbourg (3-0), its third defeat in a row at home.
The Nice, unrecognizable after their good 0-0 at PSG, do not take advantage of the failure of Marseille, Saturday in front of Brest (1-0), and remain fourth. OM saved their place on the podium.
Racing, in the wake of its 5-2 success against Bordeaux, took the opportunity to take 6th place, ahead of Monaco. (26 points both).
Angers (2-1 in Reims) and Montpellier (1-0 against Clermont) follow Monaco to one point.
Lyon are still very far from the podium and must already win in Bordeaux for the last match between two institutions on the verge of the crisis.
Beaten at home by Reims on Wednesday (2-1), OL owe revenge to their coach Peter Bosz, who can not impose his style.
But Vladimir Petkovic’s Girondins are in even worse shape. The worst defense of L1 with Saint-Étienne (37 goals conceded) has taken only one point since the end of October and is relegated.
