The team has made a decent start in the Europa League and currently tops its group, leading its today’s opponent by two points. “Rennes” has accumulated six points by defeating Israeli side 3-0 at home and “Panathinaikos” 2-1 in Greece. However, they faced misfortune against “Villarreal” (0-1) in Spain. In the French league, the squad has played 11 matches and is currently on a four-game winless streak. In the last round, “Rennes” suffered a defeat to the league leaders, “Nice” (0-2). “Red and Black” are currently placed 11th in the league table with 12 points. It is worth noting their strong performance at their home stadium. The team has lost only once in twelve confrontations, and that was against the formidable “PSG” (1-3).
Panathinaikos has traditionally been a team that excels in home games in European competitions. However, their performances on the road, without the support of their passionate fans, have not been as impressive in this international campaign. In the Europa League, the Greeks have seen mixed results. After a convincing victory over “Villarreal” (2-0), the “Greens” managed to secure only one point in Israel. In their most recent game, they lost to “Rennes” (1-2) at their home stadium. In the country’s championship, Ivan Jovanovic’s team is leading the league, with only one defeat in ten games. In the previous game, the squad defeated “Lamia” (2-1), marking their fourth consecutive victory.
