Stade Rennais travels to Villarreal for the 2nd day of the Europa League group stage, this Thursday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
After a successful entry into the running, Stade Rennais has the opportunity to reap a second success to prance at the top of its group. To do this, Bruno Genesio’s men will have to get rid of a Villarreal team experienced in continental games (kick-off at 9 p.m.). The technician is already planning ahead.
“ I think it will take at least ten points to get out of this group. We are facing a team that is used to European games, which won the Europa League and was a semi-finalist in the Champions League not so long ago. We know that it will be a very tough opposition. With Amine (Gouiri), we had the opportunity to come with OL a few years ago, and it was very, very hard. We know what to expect, but we are fully equipped, confident in our strengths. We are going to play this match without a second thought. ” The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Villarreal: Reina – Femenia, Mandi, Albiol, Moreno – Parejo, Capua, Baena – Tringueros, Sorloth, Morales.
Rennes: Mandanda – G. Doué, Omari, Theate, Truffert – Bourigeaud, Matic, D. Doué – Blas, Kalimuendo, Gouiri.
