Rennes receives Shakhtar on Thursday February 23 in the return match of the 1/6 finals of the Europa League. The Rennais lost last week 2-1 and will play for a place in the round of 16.
Rennes must believe in qualifying this Thursday, February 23. Everything is possible. At home, the Bretons have enough to overthrow Shakhtar against whom they lost on Thursday February 16 in the first leg of the Europa League (2-1). They also reassured themselves in Ligue 1 with a home victory against Clermont on February 19 (2-0). They even moved up the rankings by moving up to the top 5.
Perhaps a positive point for Rennes, Shakhtar have not played in competition since last Thursday. But Rennes will have to be wary of the iron will that drives Shakhtar. Coach Igor Jovicevic admitted at a press conference that in Lviv, due to the war in Ukraine, “training sessions are interrupted by sirens.” The team has “an immense responsibility in front of our people, our soldiers. We will play against Rennes with our hearts and until the last breath”, he warned.

What are the probable compositions of Rennes – Shakhtar?
“The questioning concerns everyone, including the staff and myself”, commented Bruno Génésio at a press conference. The Rennais coach probably did not appreciate the disappointment in Poland (2-1) and he should more or less field the winning team against Clermont in the Championship on February 19. A team which will therefore have nothing to do with that of the first leg on February 16, since there would be 5 changes. Igor Jovicevic should show up at Roazhon Park with the same eleven.
