Rennes vs Tottenham live stream: how to watch Europa League game online and on TV tonight

Tottenham kick off their Europa League campaign in earnest on Thursday, as they face French side Rennes in the group stage.

Spurs had to navigate a qualification to reach this stage of the new competition, beating Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira over two sets despite losing in the first outing.

They are now heading to the Ligue 1 side in their Group G clash, following a disappointing loss to Crystal Palace this weekend in the Premier League.

Rennes, meanwhile, have started domestically with just one out of five wins, sitting in the middle of the table as they look to face following the sale of Eduardo Camavinga to Real Madrid.

Here’s everything you need to know before the game.

When is the game?

The match will start at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, September 16.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be streamed live on BT Sport 2 and subscribers can stream the game through the BT Sport app and desktop website.

What is the news of the team?

Rennes could do without Martin Terrier after being substituted in the first half this weekend, even though he trained on Wednesday. Alfred Gomis has isolated himself and is due to return with the squad from Thursday, so Oscar Garcia must decide if his first-choice goalkeeper returns directly or if he leaves with veteran Romain Salin.

Spurs could make changes after a sad weekend loss to Palace, although they remain without Son Heung-min. Cristian Romero, Davinson Sanchez and Giovani Lo Celso are all expected to be available after missing the weekend in quarantine after the international break.

Scheduled queues

REN – Gomis; Traoré, Omari, Aguerd, Truffert; Bourigeaud, Santamaria, Tait; Laborde, Guirassy, ​​Sulemana

TOT – Lloris; Royal, Sanchez, Romero, Davies; Hojbjerg, Skipp; Moura, Dele, Gil; Kane

Odds

Rennes 24/13

Draw 23/10

Tottenham 8/5

Prediction

Neither team is performing at its best at the moment and key absences have played a part. A draw is not ruled out, but Spurs should have enough firepower to disturb their hosts – if the midfielder is better organized than it was at the weekend. Rennes 1-2 spurs.
