Key Shakhtar Donetsk vs Rennes Prediction For The Europa League Match

In this article, you’ll familiarize yourself with our key Shakhtar Donetsk vs Rennes predictions this week.

Rennes to Win

Even Ladbrokes predict Rennes will win this match. The odds certainly suggest that the French team will get a good result over Shakhtar Donetsk on the 16th of February.

Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Rennes prediction is also in favor of the visitors. The match at the Polish Army Stadium will certainly not be a walk in the park for coach Bruno Genesio’s boys, but we’re confident that he’ll want to turn his 0-2-0 record into a 1-2-0 as soon as possible.

Over 1.5 First-Half Goals

Rennes have the 4th-best attacking record in Ligue 1. The only teams to outscore coach Bruno Genesio’s side are the almighty PSG, Monaco, and Marseille. With 42 goals in 23 league matches, Rennes took the fire inside them to the Europa League, where they also scored plenty.

The best example we can give is the outstanding 3-3 draw against Fenerbahce on the 27th of October. The first half of the game ended with four lovely goals by Amine Gouiri, Martin Terrier, and Fenerbahce’s Enner Valencia who slid it past the goalkeeper in the 42nd minute of the game.

BTTS

The example we have in our previous Shakhtar Donetsk vs Rennes prediction was a good one as it illustrates perfectly how the French team is performing this season. With an outstanding attack and leaky defensive line, we expect Rennes to both score and concede against the Ukrainians on Thursday.

Make sure to give our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Rennes a thorough read. You’ll find some additional interesting facts there.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Nobody expected Dnipro-1 to be at the top of the Ukrainian Premier League yet here we are. Shakhtar Donetsk are left in 2nd place trailing by five points, which will undoubtedly put a dent in the players’ confidence for the match versus Rennes on Thursday.

Rennes

Rennes are very close to another season in the European tournaments next season. The Red and Blacks are currently in 6th place in Ligue 1 and while they failed to win in the last two matches, they’ll most likely get back on the horse in the match versus Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League which will give the players wings to perform better in the domestic league as well.
