Prediction: Rennes 1-2 Tottenham
Rennes hasn’t been in good form lately and hence we expect Tottenham to make use of this situation.
With their first loss on the weekend, Spurs won’t be too disheartened and with the talent available, the North London side is expected to return to winning ways.
They have a better squad on show while Rennes have been struggling this season.
Players to watch out for: Terrier, Sulemana, Kane and Alli.
