Champions League betting and spectator preview: Krasnodar and Rennes meet at Stadion FK Krasnodar to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Khimki, so at least Krasnodar are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3700 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Krasnodar form and stats
Krasnodar was eliminated in the play-offs last season in the Champions League.Krasnodar are steadily winning Premier League games and points here at Stadion FK Krasnodar. 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Krasnodar has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
In their previous game, the manager M. Musaev led his Krasnodar to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Khimki. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion FK Krasnodar. Ahead of that match, Krasnodar lost 1-2 at home to Sevilla.
This is expected to be a close game, with Krasnodar perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Krasnodar as a small favourite), we find six games. Krasnodar has won one of these, drawn two and lost three.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Rotor Volgograd are coming to town in three days.
The Krasnodar manager M. Musaev has got the team scoring with 16 from 7 home games in the league. Krasnodar's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Rennes form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the group stage.The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Champions League stats, they have 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses both home and away.
Rennes has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Strasbourg for a Ligue 1 game that ended a draw (1-1). A loss against Chelsea was the result prior to that, in a Champions League home game.
As mentioned above, Rennes drew the match against Strasbourg. Manager J. Stéphan brought on Adrien Hunou to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rennes playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Rennes wins, two draws and three defeats.
After this away game Rennes return home for a Ligue 1 game against Lens. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy Rennes's attacking play in away games, having scored 10 goals in 6 league matches away. Rennes have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
