-------------------------------------------------------------
Rennes are currently in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side eased past Clermont Foot by a 3-1 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in third place in the Serie A table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Rossoneri slumped to a damaging 4-2 defeat at the hands of Monza in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Rennes possible starting lineup:
Mandanda; G. Doue, Omari, Theate, Truffert; Bourigeaud, Matusiwa, Santamaria, D. Doue; Gouiri, Terrier
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Florenzi, Gabbia, Kjaer, Hernandez; Adli, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud
