Stade Rennais 3:1 Guingamp — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Ludovic Blas was the standout performer as Stade Rennais beat Guingamp 3-1 in a Club Friendly Games encounter. The midfielder pulled the strings from the centre of the park as Rennes eased to victory in a match that offered little competitive edge beyond fitness.

The turning point arrived early as Issa Soumaré put Rennes ahead in the 11th minute, but Guingamp hit back through Stanislas Kielt just seven minutes later. Esteban Lepaul restored the home side's lead on 25 minutes, and a fourth Rennes goal arrived in the 81st minute to kill the contest before any late rally could materialise.

The statistics told a tale of territorial dominance without cutting edge for the visitors: possession was split exactly 50-50, but Rennes won eight corners to Guingamp's one, revealing who pressed forward more from dead-ball situations. Blas earned a 7.79 rating as the game's top performer, doing his work as a midfielder without getting on the scoresheet. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Stade Rennais, and the result confirmed that prediction.
