Rennes host OFI in the UEFA Europa League. Both sides arrive on the back of contrasting recent runs, with OFI stringing together more wins than defeats lately while Rennes have been a bit more up and down.
This is early in the Europa League league phase, and each side has only played one match in the competition so far, with very different outcomes. How those early signs hold up here is still an open question.

Rennes have been less consistent. They've beaten Marseille, Angers and Le Mans, drawn 0-0 with Sturm Graz in Europa League action, but were beaten 4-0 by Lyon in their most recent Ligue 1 outing. Over their last 20 games they've also won 10, drawn 3 and lost 7, but with a heavier 37 goals conceded.
OFI's defensive numbers look a touch tidier than Rennes' over the same run of matches.
Comparative Team Statistics: Rennes vs OFI

Early league-phase standings
It's still very early in the Europa League league phase. OFI sit ninth after their first match, a 2-0 win that also brought a clean sheet. Rennes are down in eighteenth, having drawn 0-0 in their opener.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Bayer Leverkusen | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2/0 | 3 |
| 9 | OFI | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2/0 | 3 |
| 10 | Bournemouth | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2/1 | 3 |

| 18 | Rennes | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0/0 | 1 |
| 19 | Dinamo Zagreb | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0/0 | 1 |
One match each doesn't tell the full story in a league phase, so these positions could move a fair bit as more rounds are played.

Goal threat
There isn't an obvious standout scorer for OFI right now. Aitor Cantalapiedra has one goal in three matches, while Borja González and K. Kodro each have a single assist from limited minutes. It looks more like a shared attacking effort than reliance on one man.
We don't have the same level of detail on Rennes' individual contributions, so it's hard to say how their scoring is spread heading into this game.

Both teams have things to like and dislike in their recent form. OFI look a bit tidier defensively and have won more of their recent matches, but Rennes have enough about them to cause problems on their own patch when it clicks.
With no market reference to weigh against that form, we're happy to sit this one out rather than force a pick.
