5151

Leicester City host Rennes on Thursday night in the Europa Conference League at the King Power Stadium. The Europa Conference League is the last opportunity for Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes to claim silverware this season.

The Premier League team advanced to the Europa Conference League last 16 thanks to a playoff win versus Denmark’s Randers. Rennes, on the other hand, advanced to the Europa Conference League last 16 thanks to winning their group, which consisted of Tottenham Hotspur, Vitesse, and Napoli.

Leicester City are the bookies’ favourite to win the Europa Conference League this season. Several leading sportsbooks have the Foxes at odds of 4/1 to win the competition. Rennes are at 10/1 to win the Europa Conference League.

Rennes are on a great run form ahead of the match at the King Power Stadium. They are on a three-match winning streak in Ligue 1. Not to be outdone, Leicester City are also on a three-match winning streak in all competitions.

Leicester City have posted a home record of 9W-6D-4L with 38 goals for and 26 goals against. Rennes have an away record of 8W-4D-6L with 31 goals for and 20 goals against n all competitions. Thursday’s match will be between two very evenly matched sides.

Rodgers could be without up to six players for the fixture. Midfielder James Maddison has a back injury and is a doubt to make the team.

Meanwhile, defender Ricardo Pereira has a hamstring issue and is unlikely to play. James Justin, Timothy Castagne, Ryan Bertrand, and Wesley Fofana are each a doubt or ruled out due to their own respective injury problems.

Rennes manager Bruno Genesio may also be without six players for the match. Midfielder Lovro Majer has hamstring strain, Loic Bade has a groin issue, and Kamal-Deen Sulemana is nursing a back injury.

Midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu may be fit following an ankle injury. Goalkeeper Romain Salin has a calf problem but is nearing full fitness. Defender Jeremy Gelin is unlikely to make the trip to England due to an ACL injury.

Thursday’s Europa Conference League last 16 clash will be the first-ever meeting between Leicester City and Rennes. Both sides are playing good football at the moment. However, it cannot be ignored that Leicester City struggled in the Europa League group stage.

Rennes, on the other hand, played a strong group in the Europa Conference League and came out on top. The French side should win the first leg away at Leicester City with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals scored.
