Sturm will try to make a flying start to their Europa League campaign when they welcome Rennes to Austria, looking to recover from back-to-back Champions League playoff defeats to Fenerbahce. Sturm did manage to return to winning ways at the weekend, beating LASK 2-1 in the Austrian Bundesliga derby. Forward Seedy Jatta is doubtful after picking up a knock, while Sturm have won 50% of their last 10 home matches, conceding just 0.75 goals per game.
Rennes, meanwhile, are in splendid form, having won three consecutive Ligue 1 matches, including a 1-0 victory over Marseille. Rotation is expected, with Boulaye Dia, Sebastian Szymanski and Mousa Tamari among those pushing for a starting berth. Rennes have scored exactly 2.00 goals per game in their last 10 matches, but their defence has been vulnerable, conceding 1.80 on average. Remarkably, BTTS landed in all five of their recent away fixtures.
Rennes games average a huge 3.80 goals and given Sturm's attacking potential at home, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals. Additionally, BTTS and Rennes or Draw bets seem appealing as les Rouges et Noirs are on a three-game winning run.
This Europa League match will be played on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at 20:00.
