Rennes-Fenerbahce is a match valid for the second day of the group stage of the Europa League
RENNES – FENERBAHCE | Thursday 9pm
Two teams coming off a win, and although Rennes played away from home, they had a much easier task against Larnaca than the Turks did against Dinamo Kiev. Let’s say that the French team did their own thing, while the other had to use more energy, both mental and physical, to take the three points. Obviously, if you put it that way, it seems very likely that the match could end in a draw, also because of the two teams’ squads that will take the field. But in the end Rennes remain favourites, not least because they have some good players in their squad.
And also because, in the championship, Genesio’s team has done well so far. And even last weekend they posted a five-nil victory against Auxerre. Not an impossible task, but making it five is obviously never easy. There are no comparisons between the two teams to go by in terms of statistics: in official matches, this is the first meeting.

The Prediction
In all this the feeling is that the match could see both Rennes and Fenerbahce score. A match that should therefore provide at least three goals in total as the French should eventually take the win and remain on full points in the round.
