Juventus host Rennes in the Europa League group stage on 22 October 2026 at 19:45 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The Italians are heavy favorites after winning their opening two matches, including a 2–1 away victory over Celta Vigo. Rennes sit 13th in the table with 4 points from two games and have lost all four previous away trips to Italy in European competition.
Juventus scored seven goals across their first two Europa League matches but suffered a 3–0 home defeat to Lazio in Serie A, exposing defensive vulnerabilities. Rennes play an aggressive, open style that consistently draws opponents into attacking exchanges. They beat OFI 2–1 at home but then lost 3–4 to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, a result that underscores their willingness to trade goals.

Best Bet
Over 2.5 is the pick. Juventus have scored consistently in the group stage and conceded in their last 10 Europa League matches. Rennes attack relentlessly on the road and have generated high shot volumes in away Europa League fixtures. The main risk is Juventus reverting to a defensive setup after the Lazio loss, but Rennes' pace in transition and the attacking threat of Randal Kolo Muani and Estêvão Lepolski should ensure an open match. Back Over 2.5 at 1xBet.
Odds to Watch
Juventus are priced at 1.61 for the win at 1xBet, with the draw at 4.31 and Rennes at 5.58. Juventus's xG of 3.02 ranks second in the Europa League, and their defensive control—opponents commit fewer than 1.5 offsides in 9 of 10 recent matches—suggests they will create chances. Rennes' attacking output in away Europa League matches makes them dangerous, but their away record in Italy and lower league position make the home win the most likely outcome.
