AC Milan will welcome Stade Rennais to the San Siro on Thursday for a one-on-one Europa League knockout first-leg clash, with kickoff slated for 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
AC Milan Hitting Form at the Right Time
AC Mila warmed up for the home clash against Stade Rennais with a robust 1-0 win against defending Serie A champions Napoli.
The win was their second consecutive one in Serie A. It was also their fourth in their last five outings, underscoring an upturn in Stefano Pioli’s side in Serie A.
Their upturn in form has seen Stefano Pioli’s side close the gap to second-placed Juventus, which currently stands at a solitary point.
Milan will look to leverage their domestic form to win the home leg of the two-legged fixtures against Ligue 1 side Rennes.
Rennes Looking to Extend Their Winning Run
Rennes are looking to make up for lost time as they hit their strike in Ligue 1 and look to climb the table.
They have won five out of the last five matches as they have seen their form improve significantly, climbing up to 7th on the table with 31 points, seven behind Monaco in third place and the coveted Champions League place.
Bet hereWith wins in their last five matches, and a total of eight wins all season, it means that in the previous 16 matches, Rennes had won just three times in a torrid first half of the Ligue 1 season.
