LiontipsAEK Larnacas vs Rennes. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Europa League
Command Analysis
AEK started their European campaign in the Champions League qualification, but 2nd team of Cyprus failed to beat Midtjylland in the first qualifying round. Nonetheless, Jose Luiz Oltra's men put up a much better performance in the Europa League, beating Dnypro-1 and Partizan on their way to the group stage.
Rennes had a great chance to qualify for the Champions League, but two defeats at the finish of a previous season prevented that from happening. Club's board remains patient with Bruno Genesio, but the Red-Blacks got off to a weak start of a new season - team suffered two defeats and sit at 10th spot in Ligue 1.

Tip and bets
Rennes are considered favourites, but it won't be easy for them to record a victory in Cyprus. AEK are very disciplined on defense - in each of six latest matches at AEK Arena the Yellow-Greens conceded no more than one goal. Hosts will surely pick a defensive approach against such a classy opponent.
Rennes are in a poor form right now and their main priority is Ligue 1, so coach will surely rotate the line-up, so we are not expecting too many goals from the visitors.
Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
AEK are considered the main underdog of the group, but the Yellow-Blues will surely get some points in home games - Midtjylland, Partizan and Dnypro-1 were unable to win in Larnacas. Rennes won't field the strongest squad for that encounter, so this game might end in a draw.
Our second bet is on a draw
