Team news and form
Juventus lost 3-0 at home to Lazio on Sunday, their second defeat in seven games (W3, D2), which has put head coach Luciano Spalletti under pressure. Europe has been a welcome change. They came from behind to beat Celta Vigo 2-1 last Thursday, keeping them one of ten teams with a perfect Europa League league-phase start, after a 5-0 win over NEC Nijmegen on matchday one. That makes it four straight European wins at the Allianz Stadium, their longest such run since December 2021, though they have conceded six of their nine goals this season after half-time.
Rennes came from behind to beat OFI Crete 2-1 last Thursday and stay unbeaten in the competition (W1, D1), built on defensive discipline: they rank first in the Europa League this season for expected goals against (0.79) and fewest shots faced (13). That solidity vanished at the weekend in a 4-3 loss to Paris FC, which highlighted their inconsistency (W2, D1, L2). Rennes are also winless in three away games (D1, L2), failing to score in two of them, and have conceded three or more in four of their last six on the road (W1, D1, L4).
Nick Woltemade can make history by scoring in his first three major European main-draw games for Juventus, which would make him the first player to do so this century. Ludovic Blas is looking for his first goal of the season for Rennes, with five of his last seven goals in all competitions coming after the 70th minute. Juventus have lost Francisco Conceição ahead of the game, and Rennes are without Esteban Lepaul.
Head-to-head – Previous meetings
- The only previous meetings came in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup final
- Juventus won that tie 4-2 on aggregate
- Rennes have lost all four of their European away games in Italy, against four different opponents
The history is limited and dated, so we lean on current form, where Juventus are strong in Europe but Rennes have been open away from home.
Why we’re backing it
Rennes are the key to the goals case. They have conceded three or more in four of their last six away games, and 14 of their last 16 matches have gone over 2.5 goals. Juventus have conceded six of their nine goals this season after the break and have won their last four European home games, including a 5-0 win over NEC. Combine Juventus’s home record with Rennes’s record of conceding on the road and a home win with three or more goals is the best-value way to play the match. For more picks in this market, see our over 2.5 goals tips.
The risk is Juventus’s home scoring pattern. Exactly two goals were scored in eight of their last ten home games (W5, D3, L2), and a 2-0 or 2-1 win would lose this bet as a goals bet. Juventus have also lost heavily at home to Lazio, so the performance can swing. If you want cover, both teams to score at around 1.79 is the safer route into the same story, given Rennes’s record of conceding away and their ability to score late.
