Juventus vs Rennes Game Preview

Juventus host Rennes at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Thursday, with both sides unbeaten in the Europa League and both trying to shake off ugly weekend results.

Luciano Spalletti's side have a perfect Europa League record and sit top of the standings. A 3-0 home loss to Lazio at the weekend, though, raised fresh questions in Turin.

Rennes picked up a tie with Sturm Graz and a comeback win over OFI Crete in Europe. Their defense then cracked in a 4-3 loss at Paris FC.

The Juventus vs Rennes prediction hinges on whether Rennes' stingy European defense can survive Turin, where Juventus have won their last four major European home games.

Juventus vs Rennes Recent Results

Juventus opened their Europa League campaign with a 5-0 rout of NEC Nijmegen, then came from behind to beat Celta Vigo with Nick Woltemade and Randal Kolo Muani on target. Domestically it's messier. The Lazio defeat was their second loss in seven games across all competitions, and Spalletti now needs a response.

Rennes earned their first Europa League win by coming from behind against OFI Crete, with Nagida and Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal scoring. Franck Haise's side lead the competition in expected goals against, but that structure vanished in the Paris FC loss. Road form is the worry: winless in their last three away games and beaten in all four previous European trips to Italy.

Juventus vs Rennes Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions

Juventus: K. Grabara (Injured/out), K. Thuram (Injured/out), M. Locatelli (Injured/out), J. Ekhator (Injured/out), K. Yildiz (Injured/out), A. Durmisi (Suspended)

Rennes: E. Lepaul (Injured/out)

Juventus

The Juventus vs Rennes lineups start with a long absence list for the hosts, with Locatelli, Thuram and Yildiz all injured and Durmisi suspended. Vicario starts behind a back three of Gatti, Kelly and Kalulu, with McKennie and Cambiaso at wing-back. The headline act is Woltemade, who has scored in both Europa League games so far and leads the line with Zhegrova and Alajbegovic behind him.

Rennes

Rennes lose Estéban Lepaul to injury, so Boulaye Dia steps in at center forward between Ludovic Blas and Mousa Al-Tamari. Blas is still waiting on his first goal of the season, though he has a habit of striking late. Behind them, Szymański, Camara and Rongier must protect a back four that allowed only 13 shots across its opening two Europa League games, the fewest of any side in the competition.

Juventus vs Rennes Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our prediction is a Juventus win, with Rennes getting on the scoresheet. Juventus are favorites on the moneyline, and their home form in Europe is the deciding factor. Rennes' defensive structure is real, but the Paris FC loss showed it can crack, and they have lost every previous European away game in Italy. Juventus simply have more quality in the final third, even with a thinner roster.

Best Picks

Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects a high-scoring game in Turin. The first of our Juventus vs Rennes best picks sits in the Total Goals Over/Under market, and the projections lean hard toward goals, landing on roughly 3.6 in total. Over 2.5 carries around a 70% implied probability on those numbers, and with Juventus scoring freely at home in Europe while Rennes just came apart at Paris FC, this one has the makings of a messy, open game.

Both Teams To Score: Yes. Rennes are projected to find the net at Juventus, who are missing several players. This one is in the Both Teams To Score market. The projections put Both Teams To Score: Yes at about 64%, with Rennes producing around 1.2 goals of their own. Juventus are without Yildiz, Locatelli and Thuram, and a thinner midfield leaves room for Blas and Al-Tamari to break through the wide areas.

Juventus vs Rennes Same Game Parlay

Our Juventus vs Rennes same game parlay picks: Juventus on the Moneyline, Randal Kolo Muani anytime, Both Teams To Score: Yes and Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal to be carded.

Juventus on the Moneyline anchors the parlay. The projections give them a 63% win probability, and their perfect Europa League start backs that up.

Randal Kolo Muani in the Anytime Goalscorer market adds punch. He scored in the comeback win over Celta Vigo and gives Juventus another finisher with Yildiz sidelined.

Both Teams To Score: Yes ties straight into our best picks. Rennes have the wide threat to score in Turin, and Juventus look too dangerous to be shut out.

Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal in the To Be Shown A Card market finishes it off. The center back faces a heavy workload against Woltemade, with Zhegrova drifting into his zone.

Juventus vs Rennes Talking Points

Pressure is the storyline in Turin. Spalletti has stressed that his squad must tighten up its transition defense and sharpen its focus after the Lazio loss, and reports have linked the club with possible replacements, so a flat performance here would only turn up the heat. Haise, meanwhile, is talking Juventus up as "a giant of European football" and one of the favorites to win the competition, a convenient way to take the weight off his own side. Then there is Woltemade, who can become the first Juventus player this century to score in each of his first three major European main-draw appearances for the club. Doing it against a back four this stubborn would be a real statement.
