There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Ligue 1 table so far. Here's the Olympique Marseille - Rennes latest:
- Olympique Marseille have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Coupe de France. That game was an away game at Canet Roussillon, so at least Olympique are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Rennes have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Olympique Marseille form and stats
5 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Olympique Marseille have to build on here at Orange Vélodrome in the Ligue 1.
No payout for Olympique in their previous match, an away game at Canet Roussillon that ended in defeat 1-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Lille (0-2).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Brest are coming to town in three days.
Olympique are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. On the other hand, Olympique have conceded 17 goals.
Rennes form and stats
5-5-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rennes in their Ligue 1 matches away. It's looking increasingly bleak for Rennes who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Lens was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Rennes have lost on their last two travels.
Rennes lost away at Olympique Lyonnais (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Nice.
Rennes goalkeeper Alfred Gomis had a great day against Olympique Lyonnais, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
A new game in only four days for Rennes, the Ligue 1 home match versus Strasbourg. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Rennes have scored 17 goals in 13 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Rennes as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
