Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Rennes vs Marseille

Rennes

Not so long ago, the Red-Blacks went on a seven-match unbeaten streak in Ligue 1, and then lost two major matches: 2-3 to Monaco and 1-2 to Strasbourg. After that, Lorient (5-0) and Saint-Etienne (2-0) fell under the "hot hand", but in the last round, away from Nantes, they failed to get points: 1-2. This misfire significantly complicates the fight for 3rd place, from which Rennes is separated by two teams at once (one point behind Nice and three points behind Monaco).

Genesio's team flew out of the French Cup in the 1/16 finals, and reached the 1/8 finals in the Conference League, losing to Leicester in the sum of two meetings: a 0-2 defeat away and a 2-1 victory at home.

Marseille

The White-Blues have won seven out of the last nine rounds and are in second place in the standings. On the first day of May, they suffered a shameful defeat from Lyon (0-3), completely failing the second half, but in the last round they managed to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, having won a big away victory over Lorient (3-0), which is fighting for survival. Marseille is unlikely to fall below third place, and only Monaco, which is three points behind, can win silver medals.

In the French Cup, the Sampaoli team lost to Nice in the 1/4 finals (1-4), and in the Conference League they could not get past Feyenoord (2-3 away and 0-0 at home) at the semi-final stage.
