Match Facts
Villarreal and Rennes have never previously faced in European competition; the Yellow Submarine have lost each of their last four such meetings with French sides since a 1-0 win over Lille in the UEFA Champions League in December 2005.
This will be Rennes’ fifth away game against a Spanish opponent in Europe (W1 D1 L2 in the first four), with each coming against a different side: Osasuna (2005), Atlético de Madrid (2011), Real Betis (2019), Sevilla (2020), and Villarreal (2023).
In their last UEFA Europa League campaign (2020-21), Villarreal won all seven of their home games en route to lifting the trophy, winning their three home group games by an aggregate score of 12-3.
Having lost 15 of their first 16 away group games in major UEFA competitions (W1), Rennes have since avoided defeat in each of their last five (W4 D1 – excluding awarded win at Tottenham in 2020-21).
Rennes recorded more high turnovers on MD1 of this season’s UEFA Europa League than any other side (18), with four of these resulting in shots, a joint-high on the opening day.
