Prediction: 1-1
Real Betis
Thanks to back-to-back wins over Jablonec and Astana Rennes advanced to the last 32 of the Europa League. The French outfit do not want to stop now and we predict that they are going to leave their hearts on the field in Thursday’s football game against Real Betis. Los Beticos, on the other hand, are undefeated in the 2018/2019 Europa League campaign, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to France. The La Liga side are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the first leg and seeing that Les Rouges et Noirs are tough to beat at home, we are positive that the two teams are going to play out a draw at Roazhon Park. It has to be noted that the two teams have never met before in a competitive match.
