Celtic vs Rennes Match Preview

Celtic have bagged 10 points in the group after winning 2-1 against Lazio at Olimpico and also secured their qualification in the knock-out phase of the Europa League. The hances are high for Celtic if they win the game tonight to reach the first place of the group. It is quite possible to see a couple of changes on the line up from N. Lennon. J. Hayes and M. Elyounoussi are not available tonight due to injuries.

Rennes' performance was above average so far in the group, were after their defeat in the previous game against Cluj in Romania they virtuallygot eliminated from the knock-out stage of the competition. I don't rule out to see an experimental line up tonight with a lot of changes by J. Stéphan, who certainly gives priority to the following games of Ligue 1, where Rennes has a disappointing journey so far. H. Traoré, J. Morel, M. Niang, and the injured E. Camavinga and J. Martin are not available tonight. These players though, are not the only absents for Rennes.

Celtic have a great course so far and currently are in a good position in the group, keeping the top spot. On the other hand, Rennes' performance is very disappointing this year and I don't think they can win tonight. Any other result than home to win will be a big surprise in this one. Celtic to win is my call.
