Juventus vs Rennes

Juventus have experienced mixed results in their recent outings, recording three wins, one draw, and two losses across all competitions. Their most recent encounter resulted in a three-goal loss at home against Lazio. Conversely, Rennes have struggled for consistency, managing two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches. They were involved in a high-scoring affair in their latest outing, falling by a single goal in an away fixture against Paris FC. Both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence, though Juventus have demonstrated stronger attacking output in their recent UEFA Europa League matches, including a commanding five-goal victory over NEC Nijmegen in September.

• A. Durmisi, reported suspended, is absent for Juventus.
• Juventus have nine other players ruled out and one in doubt for this fixture.
• E. Lepaul is in doubt for Rennes due to injury.
• Juventus hold a superior record in the current UEFA Europa League standings compared to Rennes.

Juventus enter the match with a stronger recent form profile in the competition, despite a recent setback in domestic play. Rennes have struggled to secure results on the road, and the hosts will aim to leverage their home advantage to maintain their position at the top of the league table. While the visitors have shown an ability to find the net, their defensive record away from home suggests they may find it challenging to contain the Juventus attack.
