Marseille vs Rennes: A Finale With a Plot Twist
On May 17, the iconic Stade Vélodrome hosts Marseille vs Rennes — a match that could be pivotal for the home side’s push for second place in Ligue 1. While Marseille are locked in a nail-biter with Monaco for direct Champions League access, Rennes arrive with nothing but pride on the line, sitting in 11th and out of the running for anything but a clean getaway.
Marseille: Job One – Defend Second Place
Jean-Louis Gasset’s boys are holding it down. Unbeaten in four, three wins in their last five, and an attack that’s currently breathing fire. The 4–1 destruction of Brest and the 3–1 win over Le Havre show they’re not here to play nice. 70 goals this season? That’s not a team—it’s a meat grinder with cleats.
Momentum? Check. Motivation? Maxed out. They’re one single point ahead of Monaco, so dropping anything against Rennes would be like tripping over your shoelaces in a 100-meter sprint.
Also, let’s not forget the history: in the last five meetings with Rennes, Marseille have won three and lost just once. That’s a psychological edge with spikes on.
Rennes: Season’s Over, But the Fight Isn’t
Julien Stéphan’s squad has had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster on espresso. Yes, they beat Nice 2–0 in the last round. But before that? A 1–2 slip against Toulouse and a humbling 1–4 collapse vs Lyon. Their defense leaks worse than a politician’s email server—and with Christopher Wooh suspended, it’s not getting any better.
Still, Rennes have bagged 49 goals this season and aren’t afraid to bite on the counter. If they get room to run, Marseille’s backline could have a few sweaty moments.
Match Prediction
Considering the stakes, form, and stats, Marseille walk into this as clear favorites. Expect them to come out swinging, looking for an early goal and locking the tempo down hard. Rennes might throw a few punches, but handling a fired-up Marseille on their turf? That’s a tall order.
