✅ Stats before the game: Milan and Rennes will meet for the first time in official matches: Milan have overcome four of the last five knockout matches against French opponents in major European competitions, the last of which saw the Rossoneri eliminate Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2005/06. This will be Rennes’ fifth match against an Italian opponent in the Europa League, after the double group match with Udinese in 2011/12 (1N, 1L) and then with Lazio in the 2019/20 edition (1W, 1N ). In the most recent match against these opponents, the French club prevailed over the Biancocelesti 2-0.

After winning away against both Panathinaikos on matchday three and against Maccabi Haifa in the fifth round of the 2023/24 Europa League group stage, Rennes could for the first time achieve three consecutive away wins in a major competition European.
