The 2020-21 edition of the UEFA Champions League is back in action this week as Rennes take on Krasnodar at the Krasnodar Stadium on Wednesday. Neither side has a chance of qualifying for the knock-outs and will have to battle for a place in the Europa League this week.Krasnodar have not been at their best in recent weeks and have suffered consecutive defeats in all competitions. The Russian side conceded a late goal to Sevilla in its previous Champions League game and will need to work hard to win this game.Rennes have also endured a difficult campaign and are currently in a disappointing seventh place in the Ligue 1 table. The French side lost to Chelsea last week and will look to end its Champions League campaign on a positive note this month.🆚 Krasnodar 🅰️🆚 Burnley 🅰️🆚 Rennes ⚽️🆚 Sheff Utd ⚽️🆚 Newcastle ⚽️Tammy Abraham doubles Chelsea's lead - having now had a direct hand in a goal in each of his last 5 apps for the club - after a superb run and assist from Timo Werner#NEWCHE pic.twitter.com/CynqOXTWY8— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) November 21, 2020Krasnodar vs Rennes Head-to-HeadRennes have played Krasnodar on only one occasion in official European fixtures and are relative strangers to the Russian outfit.
