Rennes and AC Milan reassemble for the second leg of their Europa League playoff tie at Roazhon Park on Thursday evening.
The Rossoneri are in the driving seat to reach the round of 16 after strolling to a 3-0 victory at the San Siro in the first leg of their knockout-round playoff tie last Thursday night.
With one foot already in the next round, Stefano Pioli's side will look to get the job done without much fuss in Thursday's reverse fixture in France.
Rennes, on the other hand, made an instant return to winning ways by beating Ligue 1 basement boys Clermont Foot 3-1 at the weekend, but they have a mountain to climb to salvage their European campaign at Roazhon Park.
