International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Rennes and Maccabi Haifa are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Maccabi Haifa, who are travelling more than 4800 kilometers to play this game.

Maccabi Haifa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligat ha'Al game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Maccabi Petah Tikva, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Maccabi Haifa.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
