French side Rennes has had a slow start to the season, drawing their opening two matches, and will hope for a better result in the home match against Rosenborg. The two meet in the play-off round of the Europa Conference League, each eyeing the one slot at the group stage that comes after this two-legged tie. Rennes registered 1-1 draws in Ligue 1 matches against Brest and Lens ahead of this game and will hope to improve both defensively and in attack going to this game. While they have scored in each of their last five matches, Rennes haven’t managed more than a goal in that run. They have two wins only in the last 10, drawing five and losing three. Last season they were in the Champions League group stages but their first ever appearance at that stage didn’t take them too far. The team has two clean sheets in 10 matches, and the fact that they don’t score a lot has seen three of their last five matches produce under 2.5 goals. They have conceded two or more goals in five of their last 10 matches and it hasn’t been great at home, the team having won two of their last six there. They have two clean sheets in the six home matches and in the remaining four, both sides have scored.

Rosenborg go to this game on a fine run, having won each of their last nine matches and are unbeaten in the last 11. They’ve trailed only once in their last five matches, and coming to this game, they beat Mjondalen 2-1 in Eliteserien. That was their fifth straight match without a clean sheet, having conceded one goal in each of the five. Three clean sheets only in the last 10 indicates the need to tighten defensively. Both sides have scored in seven of their last 10 matches. They are however on a strong scoring run, having netted two or more goals in nine of their last 10 matches. They have 25 goals in the last five matches and eight of their last 10 games have ended in over 2.5 goals. Away from home, Rosenborg have six straight wins and scored two or more goals in the last seven. In the Conference League, Rosenborg have won each of the four played, but have just one clean sheet in that run.
