On Tuesday, starting with 17:55, the Rennes – Chelsea match will be played, within the round with number 4 in the Champions League Groups.
The two bands are part of Group E. After the first 3 stages, the situation in this group seems more than clear. Chelsea and Sevilla are in the first two positions, each with 7 points obtained, while Krasnodar and Rennes occupy the last two places, each with one point. In this context, we can deduce the fact that most likely Rennes does not put its hopes in the perspective of a qualification in the next phase of the competition groups. Instead, the French will fight on a level playing field with Krasdonar in the fight for the Europa League place, and every point at stake could be decisive in this fierce fight.
However, the premises are not at all “pink” for the hosts. Rennes will not be able to bet on a series of indispensable players, led by Dallbert (suspended), Maoussa, Martin and Rugani (injured). Moreover, we must note that Rennes is going through a more than difficult period, Stephan’s students ticking only one victory in the previous 8 official matches! In this context, we are of the opinion that the outcome of Tuesday night’s match cannot be questioned.
Rennes (4-3-3): Gomis; Traore, Aguerd, Da Silva, Truffert; Nzonzi, Camavinga, Bourigeaud; Doku, Guirassy, Terrier;
Chelsea (4-3-3): Mendy; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Kante, Jorginho, Mount; Ziyech, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi.
Chelsea, 5 consecutive victories in all competitions;
Rennes, no goal scored in the last 3 games;
The “Aristocrats” are undefeated in the previous 12 official matches.
PREDICTION: Chelsea to win @ 1,62
