Rennes vs AC Milan prediction

French side Rennes have an uphill battle on their hands as they try to overturn a huge deficit from the 1st leg when they welcome Italian giants AC Milan to Roazhon Park (Rennes) for the second leg of their last 16 tie. They lost 3-0 to a much more superior Milan team who completely dominated that encounter from the start to the end. Dometically though, Rennes have been in fine form and they brushed aside that midweek loss with a 3-1 win over Clermont for the sixth straight Ligue 1 victory to move to within a point of 6th placed Lens. They will be hoping to bring some of this domestic charm into this crucial European tie

AC Milan were in cruise control at San Siro from start to finish in that opening leg with a brace from Loftus Cheek and a terrific finish by Rafael Leão that put them in pole position for the 1/4 finals. Stefano Pioli’s men head to the northwest of France to finish the job. They had a little setback domestically as they lost the chance to move into second place in the Serie A table, after losing 4-2 late on at AC Monza in a rollercoaster clash, ending their nine-game unbeaten league run in dramatic fashion.

A 3-0 deficit is almost impossible to overcome at this level of competition. Stranger things have happened in football though so we can expect both teams to treat this game with the seriousness it deserves despite the scoreline. The Rossonerri dominated that opening leg and Rennes offered very little resistance. Milan are clearly the better team here and we are backing them to win on the draw no bet option as our opening Rennes vs AC Milan prediction.

Our Rennes vs AC Milan predictions

Prediction 2: Both Teams to Score

Although Rennes failed to score in that opening leg, they have no choice but to get on the attack from the get-go if they are to have any hopes of getting back in the tie. They have been impressive in the Ligue 1 with 6 straight wins. They have particularly been good in front of goal at home scoring in all but one of their last 10 matches across all competitions

Milan on their part have also found a groove offensively. They look terrific against this team in that opening leg scoring three impressive goals. Their attack has been lethal away from home where they have scored at least twice in their last 9 straight road games

We fancy an open-ended encounter here now that the home side will be on the attack. We expect plenty of opportunities either way and we are therefore backing this game to have both teams finding the back of the net with terrific odds for this option available at Paripesa

Games such as this where both teams are committed to attack often yield lots of corners. Rennes have no choice but to attack and Milan have in them the quality to counterattack.

The 1st leg ended with an 8-2 corner count in favor of Milan.

We expect a more engaging game offensively here and we are confident in going for at least 9 total corners to be taken in this game as our final Rennes vs AC Milan prediction for this game
