Tip and bets
Despite being a clear favourite, Rennes put up a weak performance in the first match against Shakhtar. But the Red-Blacks lost by only one goal, so they still have a solid chance of winning the tie. Team put an end to a three-game losing streak in the previous Ligue 1 match, which might give a huge confidence boost. Hosts are a better team, so they should advance further.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Rennes
Rennes try to play offensively at home, even when they play against PSG. The Red-Blacks need a victory, so Shakhtar are unlikely to keep a clean sheet at Roazhon Park. However, the Miners are extremely dangerous on counter-attacks, so they should be able to score as well.
Our second bet is on both teams to score
