The Miners were in the Champions League’s Group F with Real Madrid, RB Leipzig, and Celtic. However, after six games, they failed to remain in the competition and were relegated to the Europa League.
In the six games, they produced terrible results. The Miners only won one game while losing two, and ended three in a draw. These results were nowhere near getting them into the next round of the most prominent football competition. However, the fact they were in it shows their overall quality and capacity.
On the other hand, Les Rennais finished fourth in their national league, thus ensuring a spot in the qualifier for the Europa League. In the Group Stage, they produced excellent results and thus advanced into the knockout stage. Other teams in the group were Fenerbahce, AEK Larnaca, and Dynamo Kyiv.
After six games, Rennes finished second with three wins and three games that ended in a draw. Despite not losing a game, their goal difference of 11:8 needs improvement. In a relatively easy group for them, they should have performed a lot better. They will have to show a lot more for the next round.
The two clubs don’t have a lot of history between them, as their one and only clash was in 2005. Rennes were in terrible form at the time, and unsurprisingly lost the game with 0:1. However, this time around, both teams are on almost equal terms, and we are in for a treat.
Lastly, we offer the latest Shakhtar vs Rennes predictions you can consider. First, we take a look at the odds. At the moment of writing, the bookies lean slightly toward Rennes to win. The odds for Les Rennais stand at 2.20, for Shakhtar at 3.20, and for a draw at 3.35
While we agree with the slight favouritism of Rennes, we think Shakhtar will make a great effort to win. With that in mind, one of the options you can consider is for both teams to score. The market stands at 1.80 and could be a valid option. You can even consider a combination of both teams to score and three or more goals which stands at 2.30.
While seemingly Rennes are the more potent team at the moment, we can’t ignore Shakhtar’s quality. Despite agreeing with the odds, our correct score prediction for the game is a draw. The correct score market of 2:2 stands at 14.00.
Check out the most likely lineup for both teams in the upcoming matchup.
