Juventus face Stade Rennais in Europa League at Allianz Stadium

Juventus Defends Perfect European Record Against Stade Rennais

Juventus holds six points and a +6 goal difference heading into its third fixture of the UEFA Europa League 2026/2027 season. The Italian side welcomes Stade Rennais to Allianz Stadium in Turin on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 23.45 WIB, with live broadcast coverage scheduled on SCTV and streaming available via Vidio, as reported by Tirto.id. Luciano Spalletti’s squad aims to extend a four-match home winning streak in European competition that includes 12 goals scored and only two conceded. Juventus last recorded a longer home winning run in Europe between November 2020 and December 2021, when it claimed six consecutive victories.

The Bianconeri enter the match seeking a rebound following a 3-0 defeat to Lazio in Serie A on Sunday, October 18, 2026. In Europe, however, Juventus secured a 5-0 victory over NEC Nijmegen and a 2-1 away win against Celta Vigo, where Nick Woltemade scored, HARIAN DISWAY reported. That European form stands in contrast to the club’s domestic struggles, leaving the Europa League as a primary path toward silverware this term, as noted by Tirto.id.

Rennes Arrives in Turin with High Scoring Form and Defensive Vulnerabilities

Stade Rennais travels to Italy holding four points in the Europa League league phase after defeating OFI Crete 2-1 and drawing 0-0 with Sturm Graz. AFU.ID reports that Rennes sets up its side in a 4-3-3 formation, utilizing midfielders Valentin Rongier and Mahdi Camara to anchor the center while deploying Mousa Tamari and Boulaye Dia in attack. The French representative arrives boasting the most productive attack in Ligue 1 with 15 goals scored, though it has conceded 14 times, a defensive frailty highlighted by a 4-3 weekend defeat to Paris FC.

Squad Depletion Tests Spalletti’s Tactical Options in Turin

Juventus faces mounting injury concerns ahead of the fixture. Francisco Conceicao joins a treatment room that already includes Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, Jeff Ekhator, Kamil Grabara, and team captain Manuel Locatelli. AFU.ID notes that the home side is expected to deploy a 3-4-2-1 structure with Weston McKennie linking play alongside Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz, while Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade lead the forward line.
