Marseille vs Stade Rennais Preview and Team News

Marseille Team News

Marseille have grabbed a major victory over relegation-threatened Le Havre, a match which was disrupted by the crowd. Amin Gouiri’s brace and Mason Greenwood’s heroics helped them secure the win in a close game. 

Thanks to this triumph, Marseille have already been granted their berth in the upcoming Champions League season. Roberto De Zerbi’s men have had a powerful campaign and are on a quest to finish in the second place.

Marseille have some injury worries that have troubled the club throughout the season. Ismael Bennacer, Ruben Blanco, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Chancel Mbemba will miss Saturday’s fixture.

Stade Rennais Team News

Rennes, who are left with no motivation, have beaten Champions League contenders Nice 2-0. Arnaud Kalimuendo’s brace brought the win for the hosts, which dented Nice’s chances of qualifying for the CL directly.

With no incentive left, Rennes sit 11th with 41 points. They’ve had a rollercoaster season and could have gone for higher places, but inconsistency has been an issue for Habib Beye’s side.

Ahead of Saturday’s clash, Rennes have practically no injury worries. The only two absentees are Alidu Seidu and the Belgian Ayanda Sishuba. However, both have been sidelined for a long spell.

Marseille vs Stade Rennais Prediction 

• Pick: Marseille to Win
• Odds: 1.67 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Marseille 2-1 Stade Rennais

Marseille have been officially qualified for the Champions League. The only thing that needs to be clarified is whether they can finish Ligue 1 in second place.

In the final fixture, we expect de Zerbi’s men to play without pressure and deliver their best. H2H results also speak in favour of the hosts. In the last seven outings, they lost only once against their opponents.

We think the hosts will be dominant this weekend and eventually finish the term with a victory in front of their fans. Thus, our first pick would be Marseille to win.

Marseille vs Stade Rennais Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.49 (22Bet)

The final day in the French top-tier is always characterised by a high-scoring performance. We anticipate nothing less, as already mentioned, neither side have any motivation left.

Seven out of Marseille’s eight events ended with at least three goals scored; in some, we saw four. As for Rennes, four out of their previous five meetings ended with the same result.

Mason Greenwood and Arnaud Kalimuendo are the second and third top goal scorers, respectively, in Ligue 1. We think they will deliver an excellent display and are looking forward to a high-scoring game. Therefore, our second pick would be over 2.5 goals.
