This stage of the Europa Cup is fraught with difficulty due to the fact that guessing the line ups proves increasingly difficult but we feel that the Stoke City. Rennes double at around the 11/8 mark looks a very strong call.
Stoke City are in fine form and did us a big favour on Saturday with a comprehensive, but late, victory over Fulham. They have won five from six Europa League games so far and perhaps as importantly their opposition Maccabi Tel Aviv don’t travel. The boys from Israel have lost 11 of their last 13 road trips.
Rennes have made a bright start to their domestic season and sit just behind the leaders and are unbeaten at home. They just missed out on the domestic title last year due to a poor run in but they have already bagged 15 goals in six Europa qualifiers and group games. Celtic are having a mini crisis this season and the boss looks under pressure.
At punitinplay we make this a very strong call and just short of the maximum due to the lack of knowledge regarding team selection.
