Rennes vs AC Milan Match Analysis & Prediction
22/02/2024 8:45 pm
Facing a seemingly unsurmountable deficit, Rennes have it all to do on Thursday in the second leg of their Europa League knockout-round playoff tie with AC Milan at Roazhon Park.
Last week’s opening leg match saw AC Milan claim a 3-0 victory at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro. Rubem Loftus-Cheek led the Rossoneri with goals in the 32nd and 47th minute, while Rafael Leao also found the back of the net.
Rennes have been formidable at Roazhon Park in the Europa League this season with two wins and just one defeat in three matches, and they will be out to extend a four-game home winning run across all competitions.
Ludovic Blas has caught the eye for Rennes in Europa League play this season, as he is their leading scorer with three goals, one of which has been the crucial first of the match. With a brace in the first leg, Loftus-Cheek is the early leading Europa League scorer for Milan.
The Rossoneri have scored in each of their last 20 matches across all competitions, as they have netted in every match since a Serie A encounter with Udinese in November 2023.
AC Milan have a record of one win, one draw and one loss in their three Europa League group-stage matches away from Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
In their last six matches across all competitions, Rennes have won five and lost just one, and they have scored 15 and conceded eight in that stretch.
Milan have a record of four wins, one draw and one loss in their last six matches across all competitions, and they have scored 14 and conceded 10 in that period.
Rennes vs. AC Milan Head to head
This two teams have only previously met once in the first leg of this tie, with Milan winning 3-0 at home.
