Leicester vs Rennes 10.03.2022

Leicester City will battle Rennes in Thursday’s first leg last 16 tie of Europe’s third tier Club competition. With 2 wins in 2 and a clean sheet, the Foxes seem to have found their groove back after an initial run of bad results. Considering their current league position and how competitive battle for European places has been, this could be the Foxes’ only ticket to continental football next season. Hence staying in contention is crucial.

Meanwhile, Rennes will also head into this fixture on the back of an impressive 3 wins in a row. However, given that Leicester are more experienced in Europe, we expect them to come out tops here.

We, therefore, anticipate an entertaining game with a win or draw for Leicester and at least two goals scored.
