Stade Rennais travels to Villarreal for the 2nd day of the Europa League group stage, this Thursday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Breton club.
After a successful debut against Maccabi Haifa (3-0), Rennes faces a big challenge by facing Villarreal this Thursday evening for the 2nd day of the Europa League group stage. An enticing poster that the Breton club approaches with a full squad, 3 days before another shock against PSG in Ligue 1.
“We have already started this week well with the derby (victory against Nantes 3-1, last Sunday), it was important to win, we were in style, especially in the first half, underlined Bruno Genesio. Now, we have two matches which will allow us to evaluate ourselves against two very good teams, tomorrow (Thursday) and against PSG (Sunday, 8:45 p.m.), which is also one of the best teams in Europe. »
Will the Stade Rennais coach start Martin Terrier for this trip? If the Breton striker makes his comeback in the group, Genesio should not take any risks for his star striker. An exit from the bench is therefore more possible in this match against the Spanish team. The other executives of the squad are expected at kick-off.
The expected composition of Rennes: Mandanda – G. Doué, Omari, Theate, Truffert – Bourigeaud, Matic, D. Doué – Blas, Kalimuendo, Gouiri.
