Match preview
This is Juventus’s third Europa League league-phase fixture of the 2026/27 campaign, and the first of two home games in the competition’s middle rounds. Under Luciano Spalletti, Juventus have leaned on their European pedigree and a deep squad to rotate through the demanding autumn schedule, and a home fixture against unfamiliar opposition like Rennes is exactly the kind of tie the Bianconeri will want to control from the opening whistle in front of their own supporters.
Stade Rennais
Rennes arrive in Turin under new manager Franck Haise, who took charge in 2026 after replacing Habib Beye, signing a contract through 2027. Haise built his reputation on well-organised, counter-attacking football during a strong spell at Lens, and Rennes will be looking to import that same defensive discipline into a Europa League squad that is still finding its identity in Europe. A trip to the Allianz Stadium is a stern early test of how quickly the new manager can get his ideas across against a side of Juventus’s calibre.
Head-to-head history
| Meetings | 2 |
|---|---|
| Juventus wins | 1 |
| Draws | 1 |
| Rennes wins | 0 |
Juventus and Stade Rennais have met only once before, in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup: Juventus won the first leg 2–0 in Cesena before the sides drew 2–2 in Rennes, with Juventus progressing on aggregate. This October 2026 fixture is only their third-ever encounter and their first competitive meeting in over 25 years, giving the tie a genuinely fresh feel despite the history books showing a narrow Juventus edge.
Getting to the Allianz Stadium
The Allianz Stadium sits in the Continassa district on the northwestern edge of Turin, about 15–20 minutes from the city centre. The easiest route for visitors is Turin’s GTT metro Line 1 to Fermi station, followed by a short walk or connecting bus toward the stadium; on matchdays, extra shuttle buses also run from the city centre. If you’re flying in, Turin Airport (Caselle) is around 20 minutes by car or taxi from the stadium, making it a convenient base for a short match trip. Allow plenty of time before kick-off, as security checks can create queues at the main entrances.
Seating & stadium guide
The Allianz Stadium is a compact, all-seater bowl with excellent sightlines from every tier. The Curva Sud and Curva Nord house the most vocal home support, while the Tribuna Est and Tribuna Ovest run along the sides and offer the best views for neutral or visiting fans wanting a broader perspective of the pitch. For a Europa League night fixture, seats in the lower tiers close to the pitch give the most atmospheric experience, while upper-tier seats offer a fuller view of the tactical shape of the game.
Where to stay in Turin
Turin’s city centre — around Porta Nuova, Piazza San Carlo and Via Roma — offers the best mix of hotels, restaurants and easy transport links to the Allianz Stadium, typically a 15–20 minute metro or taxi ride away. Travellers who want to stay closer to the ground can look at hotels near the Continassa or Vinovo areas, though options are more limited than in the centre. Booking early is worth it for Europa League fixtures, as hotel availability tightens in the days around midweek European matches.
Getting around & sightseeing
Turin is a compact, walkable city with an efficient metro and tram network, making it easy to combine a matchday with some sightseeing. Beyond the stadium, highlights include the Mole Antonelliana and its cinema museum, the Egyptian Museum (one of the largest collections outside Cairo), the Baroque Piazza San Carlo, and the Parco del Valentino along the Po river. Turin Airport connects the city to most major European hubs, and the main Porta Nuova and Porta Susa train stations offer fast connections to Milan for those extending their trip.
