It’s a chance for Rennes to make the most of their recent form when they begin their league phase of the 2026-27 UEFA Europa League campaign on matchday one against Sturm Graz. This match on Wednesday at the Merkur-Arena in Graz between the ‘Blacks’ and the ‘Red and Blacks’ could be an exciting encounter with over 2.5 goals, our prediction.
Sturm were beaten in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League and dropped down to the Europa League. Rennes qualified directly for the league phase after finishing sixth in Ligue last season.
Sturm won 2-1 at home against LASK last weekend for a second consecutive victory. The ‘Blacks’ now have three wins from their last five games (D1, L1) but need to bounce back from the disappointment of failing to qualify for the Champions League.
The Austrians have been a tough team to play here, with three wins from their last five home matches (D1, L1).
Rennes won 1-0 at home against Marseille last Friday to continue their strong start to the season. The visitors are unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season with three wins out of four (D1), the only exception being a draw against PSG which preceded their string of victories. They even won five of their last seven away games (L2), making them a strong player here.

Our Sturm Graz vs Rennes Prediction
Rennes are back in Europe after a two-season absence and bring strong form into this fixture. They have three wins in as many matches coming here, which could also sway their way if they retain their scoring edge. Sturm came close to qualifying for the Champions League but will instead continue their Europa League journey and could bank on their home form.
The visitors are in cracking form this season, and their scoring record could drive goals here. That’s why our Sturm Graz vs Rennes prediction is over 2.5 goals.
