Welcome to the show! The starring roles are Olympique Marseille and Rennes, victory is the main plot and 90 minutes the length.
- Olympique Marseille have won all their matches at home so far.
- Rennes have yet to win a game away.
These teams have little in common geographically as Rennes have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
The visiting Rennes played their last game only three days ago, a Europa League match.
Olympique Marseille form and stats
Olympique Marseille have collected 12 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 4-0-0.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Lille.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
