Stade Rennais vs Marseille Preview

Stade Rennais host Marseille at Roazhon Park on Friday, with the home side flying high and Marseille searching for a response after a rough week.

Rennes have won 2 of their last 5 games and sit firmly in the European mix. Their most recent result was a 1-2 away win at Angers. Before that, they won 3-2 at home over Le Mans. Going back a step further, a 2-2 home draw with PSG. The result before that was a 2-1 defeat at home to Sunderland in a friendly, and the oldest match in this run saw them beaten 2-4 at home by Brentford.

Marseille’s form has been far shakier, with two wins from their last five. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-3 home defeat to Paris FC. Prior to that it was a 2-0 away loss at Monaco, and the match before that was a much brighter 4-0 home win over Strasbourg. Three results back, they lost 1-2 away at Atletico Madrid in a friendly, and the earliest game in this stretch was a 3-1 home win at Athletic Bilbao.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Marseille, who have won four of the last five meetings, with no draws and one win for Rennes. Most recently, Marseille won 3-1 at home against Rennes. In the previous encounter, Marseille won 3-0 at home in the Coupe de France.

Rennes sit fifth in the Ligue 1 table with seven points from three games (two wins, one draw) and a goal difference of +2. Marseille are down in tenth with three points from three matches (one win, two losses) and a goal difference of +1. That leaves Rennes four points clear of their visitors heading into this one, with Marseille under early pressure to turn their season around.
