With Leicester City exiting early from both domestic cups and on course for a mid-table Premier League finish, the Europa Conference League has added importance for the Foxes.

They dispatched Randers with relative ease in the previous round and now welcome Rennes to the King Power Stadium on Thursday evening.

The French side are unbeaten in the competition so far – winning Group G with 14 points – and have climbed to fourth in Ligue 1 as a result of four wins from their last five games.

Leicester have had a recent upturn in form of their own, which has eased the pressure on Brendan Rodgers over the past few weeks.

A win against Rennes on Thursday could really bring the positivity back to the club and help the Foxes book a place in the quarter-finals.

Our prediction: Leicester v Rennes

Leicester made light work of Randers in the last round but this is set to be a different challenge entirely, with Rennes heading into this game high in confidence.

Reports have suggested that Wesley Fofana could be set to make his first appearance since last May, which would be a massive boost for Rodgers' side.

They don't have a huge amount to play for in the Premier League, which means they can focus their full attention on ensuring they take a lead into the second leg in France.

Our prediction: Leicester 2-0 Rennes (11/1 at Bet365)
