The team had a less than ideal start to the new season in La Liga. In eight matches, the “Yellow Submarine” lost four times, won only twice, and played to draws in as many games. As a result, Paco’s team has accumulated only eight points and currently occupies 13th place in the league table, with a significant gap from the top group. In their last game, Villarreal played to a goalless draw against “Getafe,” and before that, they suffered a defeat to “Girona” (1-2). The poor start led to a change in the head coach. Despite this, the Spaniards lost their first match in the Europa League, losing away to Panathinaikos (0-2). Nevertheless, the club remains a contender to advance from the group.
Rennes, on the other hand, had a successful start in the Europa League. In the first match of the group stage of the second most prestigious European tournament, Rennes easily defeated Maccabi at home (3-0) and topped their group. In Ligue 1, the “Red and Blacks” played seven matches, winning only two and drawing five times, without a single loss. In their last game, under the guidance of Bruno Genesio, they left no chance for “Nantes” at home (3-1), following a series of five consecutive draws against “Montpellier” and “Brest” (0-0), “Lille” and “Havre” (2-2), as well as “Lens” (1-1). As a result, Rennes is currently in sixth place in the league table with 11 points, trailing the leaders, Monaco, by only three points. The real battle in the championship is still ahead.
