The Villarreal team will challenge the Rennes team in a 2e ronde Europa League in Estadio de la Cerámica Stadium, Villarreal on Thursday, October 05, 2023. For streaming coverage of Villarreal vs Rennes, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Villarreal will host Rennes in the second match of Group F of the 2023/24 Europa League. This match will take place on Thursday (5/10) local time at the Ceramica Stadium, Villarreal’s headquarters, Spain.
Villarreal is in bad shape. They have only won once in the last seven matches in all competitions. They even lost to Barcelona with a score of 3-4 in La Liga. In the current standings, they are slumped in 13th place with seven points from seven matches.
In the Europa League, Villarreal also suffered a humiliating defeat in the first match. They lost 0-2 to Panathinaikos in Greece. This result leaves them in third place in group F with zero points. They must immediately get up if they don’t want to be eliminated from this event.
However, Villarreal cannot rely on home advantage. Of the last five matches there, they have only won once. Of the rest, they drew once and lost three times. In the last match in La Liga, they lost 1-2 to Girona.
Villarreal also has to be careful with Rennes. This team from France is in good form. They are unbeaten in the last eight matches in all competitions. They won five times and drew three times.
In the Europa League, Rennes managed to achieve an important victory in the first match. They won 2-1 over Rapid Wien at home. This result makes them at the top of Group F with three points. They will try to maintain this position by achieving positive results in Spain.
Rennes also received an injection of motivation with a 3-1 win over Nantes in Ligue 1. They are now in fourth place with 16 points from eight matches. They are only two points adrift of leaders PSG.
In terms of player material, Villarreal will have to struggle without injured defender Jorge Cuenca. Meanwhile, Rennes also lost midfielder Enzo Le Fee to a shoulder injury. This is a big loss for Rennes. Le Fee is a key player in their midfield. He has played seven times this season.
If Villarreal is unable to change their way of playing, they could lose all the points today. The reason is, Villarreal is in crisis. There are no signs that the crisis will end. On the other hand, Rennes is ‘on fire’.
