Tottenham and Rennes set for an entertaining draw

Tottenham vs Stade Rennais - 09/12/2021

On Thursday night, Tottenham host Rennes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on gameweek six in Group G of the Europa Conference League.

Tottenham have endured nightmare preparations for this potentially difficult clash with Rennes, as six first-team players have tested positive for Covid-19. Despite the crisis, the game will go ahead as planned, but Spurs could be seriously weakened by the likely absence of the players.

The team from north London need a victory to guarantee a place in the knockout stages of the competition, as they are currently second place in the group, but are level on points with third-place Vitesse Arnhem, who play bottom team Mura.

Spurs head into this game on the back of two straight league wins, having beaten Brentford and Norwich, both at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, Antonio Conte’s team lost their last Europa Conference League match, as they suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at Slovenian side Mura. A record of two wins from their five group games is a disappointing one.

Rennes are enjoying an impressive campaign both at home and abroad. Bruno Genesio’s team are second-place in Ligue One after a 5-0 victory over Saint Etienne last time out.

The visitors also sit top of Group G in this competition, having already qualified for the knockout stages of the competition as group winners.

Rennes are unbeaten in the Europa Conference League, recording three wins and picking up two draws. One of those two draws was the reverse fixture in France.

One of the biggest factors in Rennes position in the group has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in four of their five matches in the competition.

Forebet predicts that this game will end in another high-scoring draw, which would leave Spurs qualification hopes hanging by a thread.
