Marseille vs Rennes Prediction

It is all or nothing with Marseille presently. They first went down 2-0 in an encounter with Tottenham, to which they replied by beating Lille2-1. Their latest encounter once again had them on the losing side, when they lost 1-0 against Eintracht. Marseille have been in potent form at Stade Orange Velodrome, winning no less than five of the past six Ligue 1 matches here. They also hammered in 13 goals, while letting in six as they also lost once.

Going into the season as a title candidate, Marseille are currently on track to fulfill the expectations.

In their three most recent outings, Rennes won 1-2 and 5-0 against AEK Larnaca and Auxerre, before drawing 2-2 against Fenerbahce. Rennes are winless in their last six away games in the Ligue 1, in which they drew three and lost three. They conceded ten goals while scoring seven themselves.

Taking the title might be too much of a stretch, but after their top four finish last season, Rennes are certainly aiming for the podium this season.

Both Marseille and visitors Rennes seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
