Fenerbahce-Rennes is a match valid for the fifth day of the group stage of the Europa League: formations, where to watch it on TV and streaming
FENERBAHCE – RENNES | Thursday, 18:45
Two teams with the same points in the group: ten. Except that the Turks are ahead because they have scored one more goal. Two teams that haven’t lost since last August: Fenerbahce since the 29th to be precise, Rennes since the 27th to complete the job. Now, if first place in the group was not at stake, we could safely say that to keep this streak alive we could be content with a draw. That could happen, of course (for us it will), but on the pitch we have two teams who will try to win this match before they pull their oars. Above all, the French troop, who in order to win the round, bearing in mind that then the last challenge should be won by both, must win the three points.
Can Rennes do it? It seems difficult. And as said, it seems very likely that the match could even end in a draw in the end. In the first leg, in France, it ended 2-2. A result – a draw with both sides scoring – that could be repeated on Turkish soil.

The Prediction
A match with at least one goal per team. Match that should end in a draw. Both have already gained access to the next stage and are playing for first place in the group. A draw would suit Fenerbahce very well. A little less so for Rennes, who will certainly try to win it. But to think of coming away with the three points from a very hot pitch seems difficult.
