AEK Larnaca-Rennes is a match for the first day of the group stage of the Europa League: odds, where to watch it on TV and streaming
AEK LARNACA – RENNES | Thursday, 18:45
For Cypriots AEK Larnaca, this is their third appearance in the Europa League group stage. Having failed to qualify for the Champions League, the team managed to find three victories and a draw in the preliminaries, which allowed them to reach the group stage of Europe’s second event. Although, the feeling is that a passage to the round will not be easy. There is not only Rennes in the group, but also Fenerbahce and Dinamo Kiev, teams with more experience in the European arena but also much better squads.
Better debut, in a nutshell, could not have happened to Genesio’s Rennes, who also seem to be on a slight upturn in the league after a start that was, let’s say, below expectations. The French have what it takes to succeed in what is the first external blow of their European campaign. An opportunity to be exploited also because the others, against the Cypriots, could have really easy life, so better start on the right foot.
Genesio, Rennes coach
The prediction
Although the moment, as mentioned, is not the best for Rennes, who nevertheless seem to be recovering a little, the French should be able to win the match and start the European season in the best possible way. A match that could even yield at least three goals in total. In all this, however, the guests are definitely favourites.
