The current season in France has seen two teams from the same region, Rennes and Nice, struggle to climb into the top half of the Ligue 1 table despite minimal gaps in their performance.
Despite being one of the most successful teams in recent years, Rennes have struggled to maintain their form consistently over the past few seasons. The club's midfield has been plagued by injuries and the team has not managed to score enough goals. This has led to them finishing at the bottom of the table this season, with only four wins out of 26 matches.
On the other hand, Nice has also struggled to keep their form consistent, but they have managed to secure a good result in each of their last three games. The team has been able to score more goals than Rennes, but their defense has been a concern. They have conceded too many goals this season, which has led to their poor performance.
Both teams have had to work hard to improve their performances, but it remains to be seen how they will fare in the upcoming season. With limited gaps in their performance, both teams will need to put in more effort and make adjustments to their tactics to succeed this season.
