Winning with a lead of more than two goals is the mission of Rennes, Thursday March 17, in their den of Roazhon Park on the occasion of the round of 16 second leg of the Europa League Conference. Beaten 2-0 by the Foxes, the players of Bruno Genesio complicated the task in a match where they rivaled Leicester. But the English knew how to be effective, which the Bretons lacked. The second goal conceded at the end of the match in stoppage time condemns the Rouge et Noir to a feat at home.
But with the abolition of the away goal rule, Gaëtan Laborde’s teammates have less to fear from an English goal which would force them to win by three goals to qualify. Especially since Rennes knows how to score. Authors of 57 achievements in 28 Ligue 1 games, Bruno Genesio’s players remain on a resounding 4-2 success against Olympique Lyonnais. A score that would allow them to snatch extra time.
