Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Passing on Juventus v Stade Rennais. The likely outcome is priced too short to be worth taking, and nothing else is sure enough to call.

Preview

Juventus look set to struggle despite their position at the top of the table. Their recent form shows a team creating quality opportunities in most matches, yet they have only managed to win two of their last six. They will find it hard to convert those chances without the creativity of their missing forwards. Stade Rennais face a similar dilemma because their primary threat has netted four times in his last five appearances and scored a hat-trick against Galatasaray. A massive chunk of their attacking production disappears without him. Both teams will trade possession, but the outcome rests on who can replace their absent firepower when the clear opportunities arrive.
