Chase the disillusionment and get back on its feet in Ligue 1: Rennes moves to the penultimate Strasbourg on Friday (9 p.m.) at the start of the 12th day, three days after its elimination in the Champions League against Chelsea.

A goal in extra time from Olivier Giroud (2-1) at Roazhon Park on Tuesday evening put an end to Rennes' final hopes.

Last of their group, they can still be transferred to the Europa League.

Everything will be decided next Wednesday in Russia against Krasnodar.

While waiting for a possible consolation with the C3, Julien Stéphan's players must first get back to the place in the league.

Leaders at the start of the season, the Bretons are going through a very complicated series with only one success in the last five L1 matches.

Beaten at home by Bordeaux the previous day (1-0), the Rennais are now only in seventh place, six points from the lead.

In La Meinau, they will have to beware of Strasbourg stuck in 19th place but who showed resources in Montpellier despite their defeat (4-3).

Mission also catching up for Marseille, humiliated in C1 after the 2-0 defeat against Porto.

Already eliminated, the Phocéens now hold only the record for consecutive defeats in C1 (13).

Between postponements of their matches against Lens and Nice and an international window, OM have only played one league match for a month, a 1-0 success in Strasbourg in early November.

The Marseille club receives Nantes (14th) on Saturday (5:00 p.m.), which remains on two consecutive draws, against Metz (1-1) and Lens (1-1).

Laborious winner in C1 on Tuesday against Leipzig (1-0), Paris SG will have to be more convincing on Saturday evening (9:00 p.m.) during the reception of Bordeaux (12th), especially as the Parisian leader remains on a worrying setback at Monaco (3-2, after leading 2-0).

His runner-up Lille, thrilling against Lorient (4-0), went to Saint-Etienne on Sunday evening (9 p.m.) to face a drifting team (16th) which conceded in Brest a seventh straight defeat in L1 ( 4-1).

In contrast, the neighbor Lyon, third in the championship, will try to chain a new success after those in the derby against the Greens (2-1) and Angers (1-0), conquered thanks to his striker Tino Kadewere.

Rudi Garcia's men welcome Reims (17th) on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
