Rennes vs Olympiakos Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

Rennes vs Olympiakos Game Preview

Rennes host Olympiakos at Roazhon Park on Wednesday. The Europa League game was moved up a day to an afternoon kickoff because of security concerns over planned strike protests.

Rennes come in as slight favorites, and home is the reason. They're unbeaten in their last 10 games at Roazhon Park across all competitions, even with the defense creaking lately.

Olympiakos arrive with a perfect Europa League record and a road résumé to match, having won their last five competitive games away from home.

There's plenty riding on this one. A win would lift Rennes into the top eight, at least for now. Olympiakos are chasing a club first: opening a major European campaign with four straight wins.

Rennes vs Olympiakos Recent Results

Rennes arrive bruised after getting hammered by Nice in Ligue 1 on Friday, and the defense has been leaking, with 13 goals conceded across their last six competitive games. Europe tells a different story. They're unbeaten in the Europa League, and Mousa Al Tamari scored as they earned a tie away to Juventus.

Olympiakos are rolling, and their weekend win made it nine straight victories in all competitions. They're perfect in the Europa League too, winning every game by a single goal, with Armando González scoring the only goal against Sparta Prague. Defense drives this team. Stefan Ortega and the back line have made every lead stand up.

Rennes vs Olympiakos Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions

Rennes: Estéban Lepaul (Injured/out), Brice Samba (Injured/doubtful)

Olympiakos: Ayoub El Kaabi (Injured/out), Yusuf Yazıcı (Injured/out), Konstantinos Fortounis (Injured/doubtful)

Rennes

Estéban Lepaul is out with an ankle sprain, and first-choice goalkeeper Brice Samba is a doubt after missing the weekend loss to Nice with a leg injury. Nicolas Lemaître should deputize behind a back three, which is not ideal for a defense that has been shipping goals. Up front, Mousa Al Tamari and Eliezer Mayenda lead the line.

Olympiakos

Ayoub El Kaabi (broken tibia) and Yusuf Yazıcı (cruciate ligament injury) are both out, and Konstantinos Fortounis is unlikely to feature. Otherwise the spine is intact, with Chiquinho, who has been especially dangerous away from home, pulling the strings behind Armando González.

Rennes vs Olympiakos Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our Rennes vs Olympiakos prediction is a home win. Olympiakos have the better run and the stingier defense, but Roazhon Park has been a fortress, and the hosts create shots in volume, which is a problem for a team that keeps winning by one goal. The projections agree and rate Rennes as favorites at 44.33% to win. Just don't expect a clean sheet. The projected total sits at 3.09 goals, so we're calling a Rennes win in a game where both teams score.

Best Picks

Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The first of our Rennes vs Olympiakos best picks sits in the Total Goals Over/Under market, and it's flagged as a positive-value play. The projections put the over at about 59.6%, above the implied probability of the price. A leaky Rennes defense combined with their shot volume in Europe should make for a messy afternoon.

Rennes to win on the Moneyline. The Moneyline is where the Rennes vs Olympiakos betting odds offer value. The numbers rate Rennes above the roughly 42.5% implied probability of the best available price, and with their home record behind them, a plus-money price on the favorites is worth backing.

Rennes vs Olympiakos Same Game Parlay

Our Rennes vs Olympiakos Same Game Parlay picks stack four legs: Rennes on the Moneyline, Boulaye Dia as an Anytime Goalscorer, Both Teams To Score, and Gustavo Puerta to be carded.

Rennes on the Moneyline anchors the ticket. The hosts have created more than enough in Europe to trouble anyone, and the projections make them the favorites.

Boulaye Dia isn't in the probable starting lineup, which makes this the swing leg. Still, he scored against Juventus in Turin, his first Europa League goal of the campaign.

Both Teams To Score: Yes is priced at -150 (Polymarket), and it fits the story. The projections put both teams scoring at 61.42%.

Gustavo Puerta to be shown a card rounds it off. The projections rate that leg at 49.84%, close to a coin flip, which earns it a spot at the end of the ticket.

Rennes vs Olympiakos Talking Points

The schedule change is a story of its own. Local authorities told UEFA they couldn't guarantee security on the original date because of nationwide strike demonstrations, so the game moved to a Wednesday afternoon. The club responded with a ticketing campaign that invites local youth and amateur clubs to help fill Roazhon Park. On the field, it comes down to the first goal. Rennes have scored in each of their last 18 European home games, but Olympiakos have struck first in each of their last six competitive outings without conceding a first-half goal in that stretch. If the visitors score first again, the hosts run into a stubborn wall. If Rennes break through early, the game opens up, and that's the version we expect.
