Aron Wright - March 15, 2022

Rennes vs Leicester
UEFA Europa Conference League
Date: Thursday, 17 March 2022
Kick-off at 17:45 UK/ 18:45 CET
Venue: Roazhon Park.

Leicester registered a confidence-boosting 2-0 win at home in the first leg, which gives them a definite edge in this return fixture.

However, Rennes are in spectacular form, especially so at home. They are determined to make a comeback, and it goes without saying that sparks are about to fly at the Roazhon Park.

Rennes have to make a comeback from two goals down, and they will have no option but to go after goals right from the get-go.

All of these points to a high-scoring thriller this Thursday between the two.
