Villarreal vs Rennes Prediction

Villarreal will be looking to make amends for the inaugural UEFA Europa League defeat as they host Rennes in the second round of the competition in Group F on Thursday evening at Estadio de la Ceramica.

El Submarino Amarillo offered a weak performance on the opening day of the competition, falling 2-0 away at Panathinaikos. The Spaniards managed only four attempts, one of which went on target on the occasion.

Villarreal’s strikeforce was not efficient at the weekend in the domestic league either as the team failed to break the deadlock in a goalless draw away at Getafe.

The team made a managerial change almost a month ago but they are winless in four matches under new head coach Pacheta in all competitions.

Overall, Villarreal only have two wins in the opening eight rounds of the new season in the elite class of Spanish football.

Rennes will enter this outing in much higher spirits as they demolished Maccabi Haifa 3-0 on the home turf at the start of the UEFA Europa League campaign.

Les Rougews et Noirs also returned to the winning ways in the domestic league at the weekend, celebrating a 3-1 victory over Nantes on Sunday.

Bruno Genesio’s men are one of just two unbeaten teams in Ligue 1 after seven rounds of the competition.

Latest Meetings

This will be the maiden encounter between Villarreal and Rennes.

The Verdict

Villarreal have managed just two wins in the last nine games in all competitions and there is really not much to suggest their success against the unbeaten Rennes side on Thursday night.

We will back the French outfit to avoid a defeat at Estadio de la Ceramica at the 1.80 odds while you can alternatively take the 2.05 odds for the Under 2.5 goals FT pick.
