AI match recap
Juventus return to the Allianz Stadium needing an immediate response, but they do so with a heavily depleted squad and a reshaped midfield. Spalletti has nevertheless committed to a two-forward setup, making early territory and aggressive counter-pressing central to the home plan. Rennes bring one of the competition’s most disciplined defensive units and have the midfield experience of Rongier available, although Lepaul’s fitness remains a live issue. The key contest is whether Juventus’ front two can pin Rennes back before the visitors find transition space around the home wing-backs.
Injuries and absences
Juventus are without key midfield leaders Locatelli and Thuram, plus Yıldız and Conceição in the attacking wide roles, sharply reducing Spalletti’s ability to change the game from the bench. The confirmed Kolo Muani-Woltemade partnership concentrates Juventus’ threat centrally, while Lepaul’s ankle doubt is Rennes’ principal late selection issue.
