Juventus vs Rennes Tips & Predictions – Old Lady to Keep Winning in the Europa League
Juventus are facing significant pressure after not winning their last two league matches. As a result, they are expected to play with high motivation against Rennes in an effort to secure three points. However, Rennes possess enough attacking strength to potentially score a goal, suggesting a competitive and closely fought encounter.

Rennes have plenty of attacking talent and rarely fail to score, but their away results have been underwhelming. I’m backing Juventus to ease some of the pressure by claiming all three points on Thursday.

First H2H Since 1999
These two clubs battled in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999, Juventus winning 4-2 on aggregate (2-0 at home, 2-2 in France).
Spalletti Under Huge Pressure
The only competition where Juventus didn’t underperform this season is the Europa League, collecting a maximum of six points after two rounds.
The Old Lady demolished NEC Nijmegen 5-0 in the opening match in Torino, while also edging out Celta Vigo 2-1 in Spain last week, Randal Kolo Muani scoring the winning goal in stoppage time.
Luciano Spalletti is under huge pressure after winning just one point from the last two Serie A games. After a 1-1 road draw against Cagliari, Juventus suffered a heavy 3-0 home loss to Lazio last weekend.
Rennes Got Four Points
Rennes are also in good position when it comes to the Europa League main phase, kicking things off with a goalless draw against Sturm Graz in Austria where they had 1.75-0.73 xG, 62% possession and 23-11 shots.
The French side trailed for 76 minutes in last week’s home game against underdogs OFI Crete before Mahamadou Nagida scored the equalizer, with Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal completing the comeback in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 victory.
Franck Haise’s side is having mixed results in Ligue 1 (four wins, one draw, two defeats), while almost all of those games were high-scoring, averaging more than four goals per contest. Last weekend, they lost to Paris FC 4-3.

Rennes have arrived in Italy with Ligue 1 top scorer Esteban Lepaul carrying an ankle injury, paving the way for Boulaye Dia to start.

Verdict
Juventus are under huge pressure after failing to win their last two league games, so I expect them to be motivated here and collect three points. Rennes have enough scoring potential to land a consolation goal though.
