Rennes – Rosenborg
19.08.2021

The qualifiers for the newly-formed UEFA Europa Conference League return this week. One of the clashes will see Rennes host Norwegian side Rosenborg. The hosts played in the Champions League last season and in the Europa League the previous campaign. However, they will have to settle for the Conference League this season as they finished sixth in Ligue 1 last term. Rennes join the Conference League qualifiers in the fourth round. The French club have drawn both league games they have played so far and will be looking to get their first win of the campaign against Rosenborg.
Rosenborg have been regulars in the Europa League in recent seasons. They missed last year’s edition after qualifying for three consecutive seasons prior. Rosenborg now have a chance at European football with the new Conference League. They have now played 11 straight games without defeat.
Stade Rennais will be the toughest opponent Rosenborg BK have played thus far. The Norwegian team will want to cause a major upset but Stade Rennais should emerge victorious.
This match will be played on 19/08/2021 at 21:00.
