Olympiacos draws 0-0 against Rennes in Europa League match
Olympiacos secured a 0-0 draw against Rennes at Roazhon Park on November 4, 2026, during the fourth matchday of the Europa League League Phase. Despite having several scoring opportunities, including attempts by Puerta and Fortounis, the Greek side was unable to break the deadlock. The match also saw a disallowed goal by Bruno in the 44th minute due to an offside decision involving Al-Tamari, which was confirmed by VAR. Defensively, the Piraeus team successfully kept a clean sheet against a Rennes side that had not failed to score at home since March 2026.
With this result, Olympiacos reached 10 points and currently sits at the top of the Europa League table. Manager Imanol Alguacil utilized rotation strategies to manage player fatigue, as the team remains involved in a busy schedule. Notably, Rennes was missing its top scorer, Esteban Lepol, who is sidelined with an ankle injury sustained in mid-October.
Following the draw, Olympiacos is now preparing for a crucial upcoming domestic league fixture against PAOK. Medical staff are currently evaluating defender Manolis Saliakas, who sustained a knock during the match in France, to determine his availability for the Sunday derby.
