Leicester City and Rennes will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa Conference League 8th Finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!

It's quite the trip for Rennes when visiting Leicester as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligue 1.

Leicester City form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for Leicester City at their home stadium (King Power Stadium) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

The Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 204 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.

Leicester City's last game was hosting Leeds United and winning 1-0. The goalie Schmeichel was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.3 out of ten. Schmeichel topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that match, a Premier League win away at Burnley.

This is expected to be a close game, with Leicester perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leicester City as a small favourite), we find six games. Leicester City has won one of these, drawn two and lost three.

Leicester City are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Arsenal awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Leicester in their home games so far, with 22 goals from 13 league matches. On the other hand, Leicester City have conceded 18 goals.

Rennes form and stats

Playing away, Rennes have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 6 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. When we have look at the Europa Conference League statistics, we find 6W-2D-0L. This is both home and away.

Rennes had fun at their own home (King Power Stadium) last time out, beating Angers SCO 2-0. Laborde and Bourigeaud scored. Midfielder Bourigeaud was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.02. Bourigeaud scored one goal and hit five key passes.

Preceding that game was the away Ligue 1 victory against Montpellier with the score of 4-2.

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 four relevant matches. Results were one Rennes win, zero draws and three defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rennes manager Génésio as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Olympique Lyonnais.

Rennes has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 20 goals from 13 games. As opposed to that, Rennes have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
