Rennes vs Olympiakos Predictions & Tips – Stick to Goals in the Europa League
Olympiakos host Rennes in the Europa League, with over 2.5 goals tipped for Wednesday's match. Olympiakos have found the net in all three of their Europa League games so far, demonstrating consistent attacking form. Rennes have been involved in high-scoring matches, with each of their last seven games ending with at least three goals. These trends suggest another match with plenty of goals is likely when these two sides meet.

Rennes Unbeaten in the UEL
Rennes have collected five points from the opening three Europa League main phase rounds and currently sit in 13th position with a high chance to reach the playoffs.
After missing a lot of chances against Sturm Graz in Austria (0-0 FT), they defeated OFI Crete 2-1 in front of the home crowd after a comeback, Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal scoring the winning goal in stoppage time.
Rennes were tagged underdogs two weeks ago in Torino, had a 2-1 lead against Juventus at half-time but ultimately returned home with a 2-2 draw, Boulaye Dia and Mousa Tamari finding the net.
Since then, they played two Ligue 1 matches, beating Strasbourg 3-0 at home but losing to Nice 5-2 on the road last Friday.
Olympiakos Flying in the Europa League
After a lot of problems they encountered in the UCL qualifiers, Olympiakos decided to part ways with head manager Jose Luis Mendillar in early September and appointed Imanol Aguacil as his successor.
The Red & Whites picked up an amazing form under his leadership, currently riding a nine-game winning streak across competitions.
They won all three Europa League main phase appearances, starting with a 2-1 victory against Jagiellonia, then defeating more serious opponents Marseille 1-0 and Sparta Prague 1-0.
Last weekend, Olympiakos defeated Kifisia 3-2 in the Greek Super League 1 thanks to Gelson Martins' goal in the 95th minute. Thanks to this win, they became new table leaders, sitting one point above Panathinaikos.
