Rennes
Sparkles will be flying when Milan and Rennes square off against each other at Stadio San Siro in the Europa League last 32, first leg. The Rossoneri have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning six of their last seven league matches and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Rennes. Davide Calabria limped off with injury in a 1-0 win over Napoli at the weekend, with Alessandro Florenzi likely to step up, while Tijjani Reijnders is back from suspension.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, are on an eight-game winning run in all competitions, but Milan will surely pose a much bigger threat for the Ligue 1 outfit than their previous rivals. As the Rossoneri have turned their “San Siro” into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Both Enzo Le Fee and Fabian Rieder are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
