Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Olympique Marseille & Rennes face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's quite the trip for Rennes when visiting Olympique Marseille as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Olympique Marseille form and stats
Last season, Olympique Marseille's Coupe de France journey ended in the quarter-finals.Olympique Marseille are steadily winning Ligue 1 games and points here at Stade Vélodrome. 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats is the summary from 10 games.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Troyes and winning 2-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Olympique Marseille have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (21 in 10 games), Olympique Marseille's attacking play is working. Olympique are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Vélodrome in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.
