Sevilla vs Rennes Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Sevilla v Rennes
UEFA Champions League
Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK
Venue: Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, Seville.

Sevilla host Ligue 1 side Rennes on Wednesday with the aim of ending a run of defeats in both Cup and League.

Andalusia's most popular side have been underperforming in La Liga of late, while their Champions League opener against Chelsea FC wasn't so bad as they returned from London with a point in their pocket.

Almost a month has passed since Sevilla last won. Victory here would be of great importance for the hosts, and the moment is excellent considering that the French team is going through a difficult period. The home win is currently priced at 1,50.

Can the winless streak end this Wednesday at home to Rennes?

Sevilla vs Rennes Prediction

Coach Lopetegui is not satisfied with the form of his offensive line. Sevilla have scored just one goal in their last four games in all competitions. This is extremely low considering the quality of their strikers like De Jong, Munir, Idrissi or En Nesyri.

Ivan Rakitic's return is a big advantage as he and Suso often control the midfield and create opportunities for each other.

However, that was not the case last weekend, losing to Eibar 1-0 at this venue. That defeat dropped Sevilla to 13th place with just seven points from five games. Last week's goalless draw against Chelsea is seen as a solid start to the UCL's new campaign.

Rennes had much higher expectations since their first Champions League clash last week against Krasnodar.

The French team created so many chances and played well overall but failed to secure the three points. The Russians remained virtually in their own half for most of the match and were lucky to score a goal in the second half.

Rennes are doing very well in Ligue 1, occupying third place with 15 points from eight points. However, we don't believe they will avoid losing in Andalusia. We expect a tight game with few goals in Sánchez Pizjuan.
