Krasnodar vs Rennes Prediction & Betting tips
As expected, two favorites prevailed in Group E of the Champions League with Chelsea FC and Sevilla FC and bought the round of 16 ticket two game days before the end of the group stage. Nevertheless, it remains exciting in the group, after all, the lucrative third place in the table, with which the international adventure in the Europa League continues, will be played between Krasnodar and Rennes.
Both teams are currently equal on points, but Krasnodar occupies third place in the table with the better goal difference. In the first half of the season there was a match between the two clubs at eye level, which ended with a performance-based draw.
The second leg is now on Wednesday evening, where Krasnodar is minimally favored against Rennes according to the odds of the best bookmakers. Among other things, the role of favorites is due to the Byki’s home advantage. However, bets on the three-way market are not recommended, as both teams have not presented themselves from the best side in the last few weeks.
Krasnodar:
Krasnodar wants to reach for the last straw in the Champions League and at least fix the entry into the Europa League. So far there has been nothing to celebrate for the Byki on the international stage, after all, there was only one point in four group games. To at least continue the adventure in the Europa League, a win on Wednesday evening is almost a must.
In the first half of the season there was a draw between Krasnodar and Stade Rennes. Accordingly, the winner can pull past on Wednesday evening in a direct comparison and thus take third place in the table unassailable. If, on the other hand, the two clubs split again with a draw, the last matchday in Group E will be groundbreaking.
The Byki from Krasnodar is currently in a crisis of form. Across all competitions, there was only one victory for FC Krasnodar in the last nine competitive games. Most recently, the team of coach Murad Musaev received an away bankruptcy at Khimki. Surprisingly, because in the first half of the Russian Premier League, the black and green from Krasnodar prevailed 7-2 against their league competitors.
On Wednesday evening, however, Musaev will likely start with the same starting XI in the home game against Stade Rennes. In Khimki his team was mostly made up of the best. With Gazinskiy, Vilhena, Stotskiy, Safonov and Petrov, five players will miss the fifth group game in the premier class.
Rennes:
Like the hosts from Krasnodar, the guests from Rennes are currently struggling against a form crisis. The red-blacks are still in free fall and have not been able to convince at all in recent weeks. Across all competitions, Julien Stéphan’s team celebrated only one victory in the last ten competitive games.
Most recently, Stade Rennes have not won five times in a row, including four defeats in which the club from the capital of French Brittany scored just one goal. Last weekend the series of bankruptcies ended with a division of points in Strasbourg, but the draw was not really commendable. After all, the league competitor played outnumbered for long periods.
There is currently a need for improvement, especially in the offensive game of the French. In the last seven competitive games, the SRFC scored only four goals, two of them in the last two competitive games. Among other things, there was a goal win against Chelsea FC in the Champions League, which improved the disastrous goal difference a little.
Julien Stéphan’s team will be under pressure in Krasnodar. With a defeat, the international adventure will end in the next week, whereas an away win ensures that at least the football continues in the Europa League. On Wednesday evening four players will be missing at Stade Rennes in the showdown against the Russians.
Including striker Serhou Guirassy, who sustained an injury last weekend and is therefore out for almost two months. Guirassy is expected to be replaced by M’Baye Niang on Wednesday evening. Further changes in the starting XI are not expected.
