15th September 2022 – 21:00, Roazhon Park, Rennes
Rennes and Fenerbahce will face each other in one of the most interesting matches of the Europa League 2nd round. Both teams have tied two wins in a row, and they want to pick up where they left off.
Rennes Preview & Team News
After an impressive start in Ligue 1, where the hosts are in 6th place with eleven points after seven games, they will go into this match full of confidence. Rennes started their Europa League campaign with a 2-1 win over AEK Larnaca and will be looking to make it two wins in a row in Europe for the first time since November 2021, when they picked up three wins. They go to this clash after smashing Auxerre 5-0 last weekend and hope for another successful outcome from this encounter. Arnaud Kalimuendo (Torn Muscle), Jérémy Doku (Muscle Injury) and Baptiste Santamaria (Injury to the ankle) will not be able to play for Rennes manager Bruno Génésio.
Fenerbahce Preview & Team News
On the other hand, the visitors won 2-1 against Dynamo Kyiv on matchday one, making it six wins from their last seven games in all competitions, so Thursday’s game should be an exciting encounter. Just like the hosts, Fenerbahce has not been convincing defensively, conceding an average of one goal per game in their last five matches, which is why we expect goals here. Nevertheless, Fenerbahce has been pretty productive recently, netting 15 goals in the domestic campaign. After two straight wins, the visitors will try to extend that run after this outing. Owing to a fully injury-free group ready to go, the Fenerbahçe manager Jorge Jesus has zero fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Rennes has been pretty confident on the home ground since they celebrated in six of the previous seven matches at Roazhon Park. Although Fenerbahce could be a tricky opponent, we think the home side will meet expectations and pick up another three points.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have been pretty clinical in the final third, but their defenses haven’t been too tight. Therefore, we should see an entertaining clash that should bring at least a goal in each net.
