Rennes is about to face Turkish side Fenerbahce at the Roazhon park in their Europa League group stage match.
Rennes have been decent this season with just one loss in their last five matches. It comprises a young group of players but also has a few veterans who provide the mentality to stay strong in tense situations. Thus, Rennes currently sit 6th in the league table while they defeated Ajaccio 2-1 in their opening fixture in the Europa League. Rennes will look to continue their winning run against a tricky Fenerbahce team.
Similarly, Fenerbahce began their Europa League campaign with a 2-1 win against their Ukrainian counterparts Dynamo Kyiv. However, the Turkish side is comparatively older in terms of the players it possesses, with most of them being former big names who are not at the same level they used to be along with some past wonderkids who failed to live up to their potential. In the Turkish League, they sit 7th in the standings with three wins and a draw in five matches played so far.
