Roma are set to meet Feyenoord while Milan will travel to Rennes in their crucial Europa League encounters as both teams vie for a spot in the knockout stages. The Giallorossi host the Dutch side at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and kick off at 21:00 while Milan travel to the Roazhon Park for a 18:45 start.
Roma’s lineup for the crucial fixture will miss striker Tammy Abraham, who is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury sustained last year.
The Giallorossi head into this match on the back of a 3-0 win over Frosinone, while their opponents secured a narrow 1-0 victory over RKC Waalwijk in their recent league fixture.
Meanwhile, Stefano Pioli’s Milan side are on the brink of securing their spot in the Europa League knockout stages, needing only to avoid a significant defeat against Rennes.
The Rossoneri showcased their dominance in the first leg encounter with Rennes last week, securing a convincing 3-0 victory at home. Goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leao left the Ligue 1 outfit facing a tough task heading into this match.
Milan will have to navigate this crucial fixture without several key players due to injuries. Pierre Kalulu, Tommaso Pobega, and Davide Calabria are sidelined, while Fikayo Tomori remains doubtful to play after returning from a lengthy hamstring issue that has kept him out for several months.
On the other hand, Rennes enter the match in good form, having won their last six consecutive matches in Ligue 1. Eager to stage a comeback in front of their home crowd, the French outfit will aim to defy the odds against Milan. However, they will be without the services of Enzo Le Fee, Fabian Rieder, and Mahamadou Nagida, who are sidelined due to injury.
