Milan

Let's be straightforward, luck wasn't on Stefano Pioli's side in August with the draw. Fate placed the quarter-finalists of the last Champions League in the group of death. Milan's quartet opponents were Borussia Dortmund, PSG, and Newcastle. Nevertheless, by defeating the English side in the final match, Milan earned the right to play in the Europa League playoffs.

Heading into the match against Rennes, Stefano Pioli's charges are coming off a home victory against Napoli last weekend (1:0). This win marked the second consecutive victory for the Rossoneri, who haven't lost a game since early December, going unbeaten in nine Serie A matches. Currently, Milan sits third in the league, with their only setback during this stretch being elimination from the Italian Cup by Atalanta.

Rennes

The French club approaches the showdown with Milan in very good form. A home defeat in the last match of the group stage against Villarreal with a score of 2:3 prevented Julien Stephan's team from finishing at the top of their group. Moreover, it was their third consecutive defeat in all competitions, seemingly putting Rennes in a downward spiral.

However, it turned out that the loss in the Europa League was the last one for Rennes at the moment. Ahead of the match against Milan, the "Red and Blacks" are coming off an away victory against Le Havre (1:0). This win marked their fifth consecutive victory under Julien Stephan in Ligue 1. Surprisingly, even such a magical streak has not yet allowed Rennes to catch up with the top six. They currently trail Lens by four points.

Interesting Facts about the Match and Head-to-Head History

• The teams have not previously met in European competitions.
• Milan last played against French opposition in the playoffs in 2006, when they advanced past Lyon on aggregate over two legs. In a total of eight encounters, the Rossoneri emerged victorious in four instances.

Milan vs Rennes Prediction

Milan appears to be the favorite in this matchup, but Rennes has been in exceptional form, making it risky to bet on the outcome. We suggest taking "Both Teams to Score" with odds of 1.85.
