Rennes vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction: Can we expect another total over in France?

Rennes will face Shakhtar in the return leg of the Europa League Qualifying Playoff. The first game ended in a 2:1 win for the Miners. Recent meetings with Shakhtar have been highly productive; can we expect another total over in France?

After the defeat against Shakhtar, Rennes returned to its arena and met with Clermont. The team played better in the 24th round of the French championship. Rennes sent two unanswered goals to the opponent. In 24 games, the club scored 43 points and is in fifth place. The gap with the leading PSG is 14 points.

This season Shakhtar Donetsk got into a strong Champions League group, which includes Real Madrid and RB Leipzig. The team failed to compete with the top clubs in their quest to make the Champions League playoffs and finished third in Group F. Shakhtar managed to score more points than Celtic. The club is in second place in the Ukrainian Premier League, five points behind Dnipro.

The latest statistics on the yellow cards in Rennes' matches are worth noting. Before the game with the Miners, there had been a series of four or fewer cautions. In the first leg of the Qualifying Playoff, the players received six yellow cards. The return leg will be tense, and here we should also expect a lot of cards. We suggest betting on the trend with the total over. Bruno Geneseo's team will have to get back after the defeat. The guests can take advantage of the free zones in the home team's defense.
