Stade Rennais FC Betting Stats

A group of former students founded Stade Rennais Football Club in 1901. Quickly, Rennes became one of the best teams in Brittany and often won the regional title. In 1922, Rennes managed to make the Coupe de France final for the first time. However, they fell 2-0 to Red Star.

Rennes were one of the first teams in France to become professional and played in the inaugural first division season in 1932-33. The rest of the 30s were full of disappointment for Rennes. They returned to the Coupe de France final in 1935 but fell 3-0 to Marseille. Two years later, they were relegated to the second division for the first time.

They returned after WWII and recorded their first top-four finish in the Rennes team stats in 1949. One of Rennes’ best-ever seasons was in 1964-65. SRFC finished fourth again in the league and won their first Coupe de France trophy over Sedan. Six years later, former Lyon striker Andre Guy scored the winning penalty vs his former club in the Coupe de France final.

After their second Coupe de France triumph, Rennes suffered a decades-long decline. They couldn’t get past the first round of the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972 and were back in Division 2 by 1975. The club dealt with financial difficulties over the next couple of decades. During that time, Rennes frequently earned promotion to Ligue 1, and were promptly relegated back to the second tier.
