Strasbourg preview: Impressive midweek
Strasbourg edged their way into the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League in midweek as they overturned a first-leg 2-0 loss against Mainz to dispatch of the Germans by four goals to nil with an impressive performance at Stade de la Meinau.
The appointment of former AFC Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O'Neil was a surprise one but he has done well to steady the ship, following the mid-season departure of Liam Rosenior to Chelsea.
Rennes preview: In-form Rennes
Rennes have also benefitted from an impressive managerial change with the appointment of Franck Haise leading to an excellent run of form that has them pushing for potential UEFA Champions League qualification in this run in.
The visitors managed to get another crucial victory last weekend as they defeated Angers by two goals to one at Roazhon Park with an own goal being followed by a strike by versatile Jordan international attacker Musa Al Tamari.

Strasbourg vs Rennes prediction
Rennes have been brilliant since they made their managerial change and they will fancy themselves to gatecrash the top three of four. The game, as has been the case with recent Rennes games, could become stretched. That should be quite fun for the neutral but, especially with a possible hint of fatigue for Strasbourg, siding with the visitors would be the way to go for this one on Sunday afternoon.
