Marseille, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-1 Ligue 1 victory vs Havre AC.

In that game, Marseille had 50% possession and 7 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Marseille was Mason Greenwood (55'). For their opponents, Havre AC got 10 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.

It has not been often in recent games that Marseille haven’t conceded. The facts show that Marseille have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 9 goals on the way. Nonetheless, we must now wait to see whether that trend shall persist in this next game.

Rennes come into this match following a 2-1 Ligue 1 win versus Paris FC in their most recent fixture.

The stats don’t lie, and Rennes have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 10 goals overall. At the back, Rennes could really do with shoring things up.

Coming into this meeting, Rennes have not won against Marseille when they've played them away from home in the last 7 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.

⚡ Prediction

In this match, Rennes should get enough chances to score against this Marseille lineup, but it realistically won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re going for a narrow 2-1 advantage for Marseille at the end of the 90 minutes. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
