Rennes welcome Olympiacos to Roazhon Park with both sides sitting comfortably inside the League Phase top half, yet arriving from wildly different places. Franck Haise’s men got thumped 5-2 by Nice domestically just days ago, a result that stings given how tidy their European form has looked so far. Olympiacos, meanwhile, haven’t lost a match in seven outings and look like the form side of the whole competition right now. The Greek champions sit fifth with a perfect 3-0-0 record in the phase, conceding just once. That gap in momentum is the story heading into this one.
Sebastian Szymański has quietly been Rennes’ most productive attacker lately, three goals in his last five appearances and a willingness to shoot from range that keeps defenders honest. On the other side, Jota Silva has been a genuine handful for Olympiacos, 18 shots across his last five games with three goals, even if two yellow cards in that stretch show he’s living on the edge a bit too.
Hot stat: Olympiacos have won every single one of their last seven matches, a 100% winrate over 30 days, while conceding only one goal through three League Phase fixtures. That kind of defensive solidity on the road is honestly rare at this stage of a European campaign.

Rennes vs Olympiacos prediction
We lean toward Olympiacos avoiding defeat here. Rennes are the bookies’ favourite at home, and fair enough given the venue, but their defense has been leaky lately, five conceded against Nice, four against Paris a game before that. Olympiacos haven’t lost in seven and their league phase goal difference, plus-three from just four goals conceded across three matches, tells a different story than the raw odds suggest. Our pick is Olympiacos Double Chance (Draw or Win), value given how generous that straight win price looks at over 3.00 for a side this consistent.
Style-wise this should be a tactical battle. Rennes have committed 59 fouls and picked up 12 yellow cards across their last five games, a side happy to break up play when stretched. Olympiacos, by contrast, have been more disciplined with 78 fouls but only 7 yellows, suggesting cleaner challenges rather than cynical ones. Olympiacos also edge possession metrics with 2531 passes at 2188 accurate versus Rennes’ 2396 at 2040, roughly similar accuracy but slightly more control for the visitors. That ball retention could frustrate Rennes if they chase the game.

Team Analysis
Rennes’ last five results read like a side still finding consistency: a 2-1 win over OFI Crete, a 3-4 loss to Paris, a 2-2 draw with Juventus, a 3-0 win against Strasbourg, then that rough 5-2 loss to Nice. The defense has been the issue, conceding heavily in two of those five. In our preview of Nice vs Rennes we backed Rennes to edge the game narrowly with both sides scoring, but the 5-2 scoreline went firmly against us, Nice ran away with it in the end. That loss does raise questions about how Rennes’ back line holds up here.
Olympiacos look like an entirely different animal right now. Five straight wins before this fixture, including a 3-2 win over Kifisia most recently, a 2-0 win against Marko, and a thumping 5-0 victory over Kalamata. In our preview of Olympiacos vs Sparta Prague we called a controlled Olympiacos win under 2.5 goals, and the eventual 1-0 result landed exactly as we expected. That kind of tight, professional performance is becoming the norm for this group under Alguacil.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Rennes the favourite
- Moneyline Rennes 2.22 | Olympiacos 3.07
- Draw 3.55
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
Rennes sit as favourites around 2.22, with Olympiacos out near 3.07 and the draw hovering at 3.55. Honestly, those numbers feel a touch generous toward the home side given how Olympiacos have played lately. Markets tend to overweight home advantage in Europa League fixtures like this, and we think that’s exactly what’s happening here.
Possible Starting Lineups
Rennes possible starting eleven
- GK: Brice Samba
- DF: Przemysław Frankowski, Anthony Rouault, Charlie Cresswell, Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal
- MF: Valentin Rongier, Mahdi Camara, Sebastian Szymański, Ludovic Blas, Mousa Al-Tamari
- FW: Boulaye Dia
Haise tends to stick with his 4-2-3-1 base, and the appearance counts back that up almost perfectly. Samba starts in goal despite missing one match recently, the backups simply haven’t logged minutes that matter. Szymański is the one to watch going forward, three goals in five games from midfield is no accident. Dia leads the line ahead of Mayenda purely on end product.
Olympiacos possible starting eleven
- GK: Stefan Ortega
- DF: Manolis Saliakas, Panagiotis Retsos, David Carmo, Bruno Onyemaechi
- MF: Gustavo Puerta, Santiago Hezze
- FW: Kostas Fortounis, Chiquinho, Jota Silva, Roman Yaremchuk
Alguacil’s 4-2-3-1 mirrors Rennes’ setup almost exactly, which should make for an interesting midfield battle. Jota Silva deserves close attention given his shot volume lately, he’s the one most likely to force Rennes’ back line into mistakes. Puerta and Hezze give the double pivot enough legs to both defend and progress the ball, which matters against a Rennes side that presses in bursts.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We’re backing Olympiacos to leave Roazhon Park unbeaten. Their defensive numbers in this competition are genuinely elite, just one goal conceded across three matches, and that unbeaten run stretching back seven games carries real weight. Rennes have talent, Szymański and Dia can hurt anyone on their day, but the home side’s recent defensive collapses against Nice and Paris make a clean sheet unlikely. Our lean is Olympiacos Double Chance combined with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring, a result that rewards Olympiacos’s consistency without betting against Rennes finding the net at home.
