Stade Rennais will face Feyenoord at the Vila Real de Santo António on Friday in a friendly clash between the two sides.
Rennes endured a sluggish start to their season but quickly found good form and are now pushing for the Champions League spots. They beat newly-promoted Toulouse 2-1 in their last league outing, with Arnaud Kalimuendo scoring the winner just before the hour mark.
Les Rennais beat Celtic 4-3 in a friendly clash last weekend and will be looking to pick up a win before returning to competitive action later in the year.
Feyenoord have had a strong season and are currently atop the Eredivisie standings, pushing for their first Dutch league title since the 2016-17 campaign. They carried out a 5-1 thrashing of Excelsior, with Orkun Kokcu and Sebastian Szymański scoring the braces to overturn an early deficit.
Friday's game will mark Feyenoord's penultimate fixture of 2022 and they will aim to close out the year on a positive note.
