Rennes vs Dinamo Zagreb prediction, odds and how to watch

Dinamo Zagreb came to the Stadium of Light, did the basics, took their chances, and left with three points. Sunderland had the ball, the shots, and the woodwork on their side. None of it mattered.

Olympiacos came to Rennes with a perfect three-from-three record in the UEFA Europa League and left with a point, but they will know they should have had all three. Rennes dug in, the basics held, and both sides hit the woodwork in a match that had more in it than the scoreline suggests.

Elye Wahi ran the show at the Allianz Riviera as Nice put five past a Rennes side that had more than enough chances to make a game of it. The basics let Rennes down. End of.

Rennes have drawn three of their last four Europa League matches and cannot afford more dropped points. Dinamo Zagreb arrive with a defensive record that demands respect.

Rennes host Stade Brestois 29 on Sunday afternoon with neither side able to claim they are in convincing form. The basics will decide this one.

Toulouse head into Sunday's Ligue 1 fixture without a defeat in their last five matches. Rennes arrive capable of anything, which is precisely the problem.

NEC Nijmegen host Rennes on Thursday night carrying injuries, inconsistent form, and a defence that has not kept a single clean sheet in their last three Europa League outings. Rennes arrive unbeaten in the same window. This one matters.

Bayer Leverkusen arrive in Croatia with three wins from three and a clean sheet in every one of them. Dinamo Zagreb need to find something they have not shown yet in this competition.
