Plenty of service
Afonso Moreira registered two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-2 win against AJ Auxerre.
Analysis: Moreira was not as efficient as one would hope but this amount of volume in service is encouraging for his potential to get an assist against Rennes. Rennes has allowed 41 goals in 30 Ligue 1 matches this season.
Scores and provides assist
Moreira scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Moreira was the standout player of Sunday's 2-1 win over PSG, first threading a precise through ball in the first half to set up Endrick's opener, before finishing calmly inside the post from a counterattack to double the lead in the first half. The Portuguese forward also delivered three accurate crosses and two key passes, forced Matvey Safonov into a smart stop in the second half and remained a consistent threat on the left flank even as his side defended deep under intense late pressure. Moreira has now scored three goals and delivered seven assists across 34 Ligue 1 appearances this season, asserting himself as one of the most dangerous wide forwards in his team's attack.
