Sunderland v Stade Rennais: Tickets, team news and live stream details | OneFootball

Sunderland host Stade Rennais in their final pre-season friendly and only home warm-up, with kick-off at three pm on Saturday 15 August at the Stadium of Light. Both clubs are Europa League qualifiers.

According to Sunderland Echo, the Ligue 1 visitors finished sixth last season and recorded eye-catching wins over Strasbourg, Lille and Paris Saint-Germain, who ended the campaign as champions and Champions League winners. They are expected to offer a stern test.

Head coach Regis Le Bris will use the fixture to assess his options before the Premier League opener at Ipswich Town seven days later. Tickets are on sale via SAFC.com.

Sunderland’s only summer signing, Belgium international Thomas Meunier, agreed a two-year deal after leaving Lille and could make his home debut.

Rennes could include former Black Cats striker Eliezer Mayenda, signed earlier this summer. The 21-year-old registered 12 goals and six assists in 72 appearances for Sunderland and scored in their Championship play-off final win against Sheffield United. A possible family reunion will not happen, with Nordi Mukiele’s brother Nordan joining Montpellier on loan earlier this month.

The club will stream the match on their official website with worldwide coverage, but it will not be available in the United Kingdom, France or French-speaking territories such as Andorra, Belgium and Canada. Further information on purchasing access is available via the club’s website.
