Preview:
Rennes retuned to winning ways after a 3-match winless run in a 2-0 league win over Clermont Foot in the Ligue 1.
Kalimuendo-Muinga scored both goals for the home side as they moved to 5th place in the table with 43 points and are a mere 6 points from the top 4.
The home side need to turn this around after being 2-1 down and will need the crowd support as they aim to keep their UEL campaign alive.
On the other hand, Shakhtar’s last match was the 2-1 home win over Rennes in the UEL last week.
Kryskiv and Bondarenko scored for the Ukrainian side to register a massive win. Ekambi scored Rennes’ only effort to half the deficit.
This goal would give the French side some confidence but still will be up against the tide.
