Prediction: 1-1
Milan
All eyes will be on Roazhon Park when Rennes and Milan lock horns in the second leg of the Europa League last 32. Les Rouges et Noirs face an uphill task in Thursday’s clash as they need to overcome a three-goal deficit in front of home fans. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Martin Terrier, who scored a brace in a 3-1 win over Clermont, while both Arnaud Kalimuendo and Bertug Yildirim are back from suspension.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the reverse fixture and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. All Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, and Olivier Giroud should be recalled to the starting XI after the trio was rested in a 4-2 loss to Monza, while all Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Tommaso Pobega, and Pierre Kalulu are out of contention with injuries.
