The Meaning Of Over And Under Bets

3y ago

With these two low-scoring sides locking horns this week, goals are likely to be in short supply. Sevilla have been utterly disappointing this season, struggling to get desirable results on board. In fact, they currently sit in the bottom-half of the La Liga standings.

Meanwhile, Rennes are already tearing it up in the French league once again. They have amassed a whopping 15 points from eight games to occupy third-spot on the log – just three points shy of the summit. Expect a strong showing from Les Rennais in Seville.

Sevilla vs Rennes Team News

One of the top sides in Spain, Sevilla languishing in the bottom-tier of the La Liga table is not exactly the norm. Yet to find their best form, Los Nervionenses have managed a measly seven points from their opening five fixtures.

Pressure is already mounting on Julen Lopetegui to get his faltering side back on the right track. Just months after leading Sevilla to Europa League success, the Spanish gaffer has already found his managerial position at the club under fire.

However, there is still more than enough time for the 54-year-old to turn Los Palanganas’ fortunes around. In their opening Champions League fixture, Sevilla dug really deep to hold Chelsea to a goalless draw – salvaging a point in the process.

The result went down well with the club supporters as the Blues remain their strongest contenders in Group E. Returning to domestic action after that encouraging result, they were shocked to their bone marrow as Eibar scored a shocking win over them.

Kike with the only goal of the game, Sevilla were made to relinquish all three points as their La Liga troubles continued. Here we have Rennes standing in their way for a first win in this season’s CL edition. Les Rennais have begun their Ligue 1 campaign magnificently.

As things stand, Julen Stephan’s charges are well on-course to finishing in the top-three. With the season still very much juvenile, Rennes have a lot of work to do, and must remain consistent for the rest of the campaign. They were surprisingly defeated 2-1 by Angers on the last matchday.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Rennes couldn’t see off minnows Krasnodar, even on home turf. They required a penalty to salvage a point from the Russian side. Rennes will need to deliver a better performance to stand any chances versus Sevilla on matchday two.

Sevilla vs Rennes Predictions

These two teams are not currently in their best form at the moment. That said, Sevilla’s struggles are in the domestic league, and not on the European scene. As such, we might see an inspired display from Lopetegui’s men here.

Rennes, on the other hand, are newcomers in the Champions League and very much inexperienced. Hence, count on Sevilla to clinch maximum points come fulltime.
