Rennes travel to Crete to face OFI on 15 October 2026 at 22:00 in the Europa League group stage. The French club opened their campaign with a frustrating 0–0 draw at Sturm Graz, where both sides had goals ruled out—Rennes for a handball offense, Sturm for offside. Frank Eza's side bounced back sharply in Ligue 1, dismantling Auxerre 4–1 last time out. Bulaïe Dia came off the bench in the 77th minute and scored twice in the second half, part of a three-goal blitz after the interval that buried the contest.
Form and H2H
Rennes have won four of their last ten matches at home but also lost four, conceding 1.70 goals per game while scoring 1.50. OFI arrive in excellent away form, winning six of ten road matches with just two defeats. The Greeks average 1.50 goals scored away from home but have been miserly in defense, allowing only 0.70 per game. That defensive discipline will be tested against a Rennes attack that just put four past Auxerre and showed clinical finishing in the second half.
Best bet
Back Rennes to win with a -1.5 goal handicap. The French club's recent demolition of Auxerre and their superior attacking output at home make them strong favorites here. At 1xBet, a Rennes win sits at 1.27, reflecting their status as clear picks. OFI's defensive record on the road is solid but Rennes' firepower—especially after Dia's impact off the bench—suggests a comfortable margin.
Odds to watch
The outright win market favors Rennes heavily. 1xBet prices a home victory at 1.27, while 1Win offers 1.24. A draw trades at 6.39 with 1xBet and 6.30 with 1Win. An OFI upset win is priced at 11.6 on 1xBet and 11.9 on 1Win. OFI's away form suggests they will not roll over, but Rennes' recent attacking form and home record make the short odds on a French win justified.
