Rennes and Krasnodar will face each other in the first match of the UEFA Champions League Group E.
Rennes :
Rennes finished 3rd in the French Ligue 1 last season. They managed to join the Champions League groups directly. Let us state that they made a good start to the league in the new season. As 7 weeks behind, they share the leadership with PSG by getting 3 draws and 4 wins. The students of Julien Stephane, who returned from Dijon away from Dijon last weekend with a draw, had a 2-2 draw with Reims in the previous week. Their roster includes important names such as Raphinha, Camavinga, Bourigeaud and Guirassy. Let us state that the favorite of the match against Krasnodar, which they will host in the first match of the Champions League group, is Renns.
Krasnodar :
In the Champions League play-off round, Krasnodar succeeded in eliminating the Greek representative PAOK in two matches with 2-1 scores. I think the first two chances in the group are difficult. At least I think they can compete with Rennes for 3rd place. Compared to Sevilla and Chelsea, it is not easy for them to finish in the top 2. The team of Murad Musaev, who beat Rubin Kazan 3-1 in the Russian Premier League at the weekend, was victorious in the league after 2 matches. There are important names such as Cabella, Marcus Berg, Vilhena and Kristoffer Olsson in their staff.
Rennes is the favorite of the game. They started the season pretty well. I think they will win against Krasnodar in the first match of the Champions League.
PREDICTION: Rennes to win @ 1,84
