Juventus vs Rennes Predictions

• Juve have kept clean sheets in all three of their home wins this season
• Juve have six points from two games in Europe
• Rennes have lost back-to-back away games

Win and a shut-out for Juve

Juventus slumped to a 3-0 defeat at home to Lazio in Serie A over the weekend but can respond with a Europa League victory over visiting Rennes on Thursday.

Juve may be underwhelming domestically but they’ve been perfect in Europe. The Italian giants have six points from two games and should be able to make it three wins in a row against Rennes, who have lost back-to-back away games.

Les Rouge et Noirs are unbeaten themselves in Europe with four points on the board but this trip to Turin represents a big step up from previous opponents OFI Crete and Sturm Graz.

Rennes drew a blank in a bore draw at Sturm Graz and have failed to score in two of their last three road games including that stalemate in Austria. Juve have kept their opponents at bay in all three of their home victories this season, including a success over Nijmegen in this competition, so backing a home win to nil looks the best angle for our main bet.

Rennes have conceded four goals in each of their last two trips but they can keep things respectable in Turin and a 2-0 Juve win has a chance. The hosts scored five in their win over Nijmegen but that is the only game this season where their attack has really clicked into gear so it may be a routine rather than a spectacular success for the Old Lady.
