Juventus - Rennes team news and expert analysis
The Turin giants endured a disappointing campaign last season, finishing only sixth despite replacing Tudor with Spalletti. They have also dropped points several times already in this domestic championship. Rennes, who play at the "Roazhon Park" stadium, also finished sixth in their domestic league in 2025/2026. After the break, they drew with PSG and picked up three wins, but their first setbacks followed soon after.
The Italians began their Europa League campaign with a clash against NEC. They defeated the visitors from Nijmegen in emphatic fashion, 5-0. A trip to the much more experienced Celta produced a comeback victory, 2-1.
In September, the French side settled for a goalless draw away to Sturm. In the second round, they beat the modest OFI at home, but only by a narrow 2-1 margin.
