THE KEY STATS
- Rennes have won the second leg in six of their last seven UEFA competition two-legged ties.
- Rennes are unbeaten in all three home UEFA competition matches against teams from Italy, most recently against Lazio in the 2019/20 Europa League group stage when they won 2-0.
- Rennes have won six of their last eight matches in all competitions (D1 L1).
- Milan have lost only two of their last nine UEFA competition matches against French teams (W5 D2).
- Milan have won the second leg away from home in only one of their last 11 UEFA competition two-legged ties (D3 L7).
- Milan have won all four UEFA competition ties after a 3-0 home first-leg victory, although the most recent came against PAOK in the 1973/74 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals (2-2 a). The only occasion they have not progressed in a tie after leading by three goals or more after the home first leg – from 17 ties – was in the 2003/04 Champions League quarter-finals against Deportivo La Coruña, when their 4-1 first-leg lead was overturned by a 4-0 defeat in Spain.
- Milan have scored two or more goals in each of their last nine away matches in all competitions.
THE PREDICTION
Stade Rennais, following the return of Julian Stephan during the November international break, have been much-improved in the last couple of months. That continued in the league at the weekend, too, with a comfortable 3-1 defeat of Clermont in Ligue 1. However, their season in Europe does appear to be over after they were hammered 3-0 by AC Milan at San Siro last week. Milan then rested and rotated at the weekend against Monza as they suffered a surprise defeat but Stefano Pioli’s Rossoneri will be fresh and keen to react in this one so should come out on top in this second-leg.
TIP: AC MILAN TO WIN
