3rd in group E of the Champions League, Krasnodar can no longer hope to qualify for the round of 16 but must still work to secure 3rd place in the standings, which would allow him to be transferred to the Europa League. For their entry into the running, Remy Cabella’s partners suffered but still took a good point in Rennes (1-1). Since then, they have lost against Chelsea (0-4) and against Sevilla FC in the last 2 days (3-2 away and 1-2 at home). In difficulty since the start of his championship, Krasnodar is currently 10th in the standings and has just lost 7 of his last 8 games played in all competitions. Last weekend, the team lost on Khimki’s lawn (1-0).

For its very first participation in the most prestigious of club competitions, Rennes logically shows real gaps. Already eliminated from the C1, Julien Stephan’s men are currently last in this Champions League group but they have the same number of points as their opponent of the day who occupies the 3rd rank, synonymous with transfer to the Europa League. Held in check at home by Krasnodar despite a good match during the 1st day (1-1), the Breton team then aligned 3 losses in Seville (1-0) and against Chelsea (3-0 away and 1-2 at home). Rennes now occupies 7th place in Ligue 1. Authors of a very good start, Camavinga’s partners have since fallen into line, as evidenced by the unique success acquired during the last 7 days. Last weekend, they took a point from relegation Strasbourg (1-1).
