Current standings and stakes

Stade Rennais enter the match positioned 13th in the group, having played three games. They have secured five points through one win and two draws, remaining unbeaten but with a modest goal difference of +1 after scoring four and conceding three. Their current zone places them in the play-off spots, just behind Olympiacos, who sit fifth with a perfect record of nine points from three matches.
