Rennes vs Marseille

Rennes has found its footing in the league, claiming wins against Le Mans and Angers after opening its domestic campaign with a draw against Paris Saint Germain. This marks a significant turnaround from their earlier friendly matches where the side struggled for results. Marseille, conversely, has hit a difficult patch, losing its two most recent matches against Monaco and Paris FC after a strong start to the season. While they managed a clean sheet in their opening win over Strasbourg, the side has conceded five times in its last two league fixtures.

Marseille has held complete control in recent meetings between these two clubs. They have won all three of their most recent encounters across the last two seasons, scoring multiple goals in each of those victories.

• Marseille will be without G. Kondogbia and T. Nnadi due to injury.
• Rennes has A. Ait Boudlal listed as in doubt for the fixture.
• Rennes is unbeaten in its last three league matches.
• Marseille has failed to secure a win in its last two outings.

Rennes appears to be the more settled side currently given their recent league form and home advantage. While Marseille has historically dominated this fixture, their current losing streak suggests a challenge in turning things around at Roazhon Park. The match leans toward the home side, though Marseille's historical edge in this pairing cannot be ignored.
