Rennes set sights on Europa League top eight as Haise’s side start at Sturm Graz | OneFootball

Rennes begin their Europa League campaign at Sturm Graz on Wednesday at 21:00, targeting progress beyond winter. Franck Haise’s side arrive as co-leaders of Ligue 1 after four matches.

According to L'Équipe, Rennes have set their sights on the competition’s top eight.

It is 937 days since their last European jolt, a 3-2 against AC Milan after a 0-3 first leg in the Europa League play-offs.

Their place in this season’s competition stems from Lens winning the Coupe de France, with Rennes having finished sixth in Ligue 1 in the spring.

This is the club’s seventh European campaign in the last nine seasons, one more than in all their previous history, excluding Intertoto, a sign of clear growth.
