Manager
- F. Ingolitsch
- F. Haise
Sturm Graz host Rennes at the Graz-Liebenau Stadium in Europa League action, with both sides entering the competition in contrasting domestic form.
Fabio Ingolitsch's Sturm Graz have been solid at home in the Austrian Bundesliga and will look to use that familiarity to their advantage on the European stage. Their recent league form suggests a team capable of grinding out results when it matters.
Rennes arrive in Graz on the back of a strong run under Franck Haise. The French side have won their last three Ligue 1 fixtures and drew with Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the season, signalling genuine quality in their squad.
Haise's side also recorded a 1-0 win over Marseille in their most recent league outing, a result that underlines their upward trajectory heading into this continental fixture.
With both clubs sitting level at the top of the Europa League standings, this match carries real weight from the outset. Neither side will want to drop points at this early stage of the competition.

Haise's side beat Marseille 1-0 on September 11 before that, they won 1-2 at Angers and 3-2 against Le Mans, while a 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain demonstrated their ability to compete with the division's best. Rennes have scored nine goals and conceded seven across that five-match stretch.
