Rennes hosts Tottenham in round 1 of the Europa Conference League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, September 16th at Roazhon Park (Rennes)
Rennes qualified for the Europa Conference League group stage after defeating Norwegian Rosenborg with a score of 5-1 on aggregate. The prodigy Kamavinga went to Madrid, but the new coach Genesio received high-quality fresh blood in the person of Laborde from Montpellier and Majer from Dinamo Zagreb. In the new club tournament of the Old World, the clubs can also earn decent money. It plays into the hands of the Red-and-Blacks, because most French clubs are not so rich.

Someone could think that the new manager of Tottenham, Nuno Espirito Santo, did not need this tournament. He took the third squad to his native Portugal for the first qualifying match against Pacos de Ferreira. Having suffered a 1-0 defeat, the coach fielded the regular lineup in the second game, and the Spurs destroyed the Portuguese in London (3-0). But it is hard to say how Tottenham will take the Europa Conference League further, despite the desire of the new coach to prove himself in a more serious club. In the championship, his debut turned out to be more than cool. The Spurs gained three victories and didn’t concede a single goal in the first three rounds. But in the last match, they received a slap in the face from Crystal Palace, conceding three times in the last 18 minutes after Tanganga was sent off.
I suppose that the manager of Tottenham will field a combat-ready squad in France. At least those players who are healthy will appear on the pitch. The performers from South America won’t help the Spurs because of the quarantine. Son Heung-min has a slight injury, and the participation of Bergwijn and Dier is questionable. One way or another, I expect an active and attacking game from both teams. Tottenham will try to make up for a failure in the last round of the Premier League. Rennes lost in the last two matches of the national championship with a total score of 0-4, so it will surely be very motivated either. Therefore, we are likely to see interesting football with an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
