Rennes vs Sevilla prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Champions League 2020-21

Rennes are set to play hosts to Sevilla at the Roazhon Park on Tuesday in their next UEFA Champions League group stage game.

Rennes come into this game on the back of a 2-0 loss to Lens in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Teenage attacker Arnaud Kalimuendo, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, and Cameroon international Ignatius Ganago scored the goals which sealed the deal for Lens.

Sevilla, on the other hand, lost 1-0 to Real Madrid in La Liga on Saturday. A second-half own goal from Moroccan goalkeeper Bono was enough to ensure a much-needed victory for Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid.

Rennes vs Sevilla Prediction

Rennes still have a chance to qualify for the UEFA Europa League by finishing in the third position. They are yet to win a game in their group, and a young team including the prodigious Eduardo Camavinga and Belgium international Jeremy Doku will have to be at their best in order to stand a chance.

Sevilla, on the other hand, have already qualified alongside Chelsea. Julen Lopetegui has a talented squad to work with. The Spanish side, more renowned for their Europa League exploits, have little to play for in this game.

Sevilla might have already qualified, but they have been in good form in the league. Rennes have been unable to replicate last season's form, and will be the underdogs in this encounter.

Prediction: Rennes 1-2 Sevilla
