Rennes take on the visitors Marseille in the round 26 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, February 5th at Roazhon Park (Rennes).
After being eliminated from the Europa League, Rennes can now fully focus on the Ligue 1, as the fight for the European spots is ahead of them. The team is only six points away from second place, which is easily recoverable. And now Rennes' competitors are already on their heels, even in the fight for the Conference League zone. At home, Bruno Genesio's team must score against any opponent. After two consecutive losses in the championship, Rennes has already won two games in a row. Moreover, regardless of the result, the team has scored against almost all of its opponents in Ligue 1 this season. They have only been unable to score in one match out of 25 in the championship, which happened in the very first round. We think the hosts will score at least one goal against Marseille.

From the "Provencals" (Marseille), we also expect at least one accurate strike. Yes, in the previous round, Marseille was beaten 0-3 by the reigning champions of the country, PSG, who avenged their elimination from the cup. But that match was only the third out of 25 rounds of the current season in which Igor Tudor's team was unable to upset their opponent. Marseille's scoring ability is good, as only Monaco and PSG have scored more in the championship. The team is also the best in the league in terms of results on the road, with 9 wins in 12 matches, five wins in their last five, and 25 goals scored away from home in total this season.
It is difficult to identify a favorite in this match. Both teams have performed well in the current season, both are motivated for points and victory. Both the hosts and the visitors are fighting for a place in the Champions League zone and championship medals. It is foolish to predict the outcome of this match, but it is reasonable to expect a goal exchange. Rennes has scored 45 goals in 25 rounds this season, and Marseille has scored 48. Both teams have an average of almost two goals per game. Both teams have a good attack, and their defense is also decent. However, over these 25 Ligue 1 matches, Rennes and Marseille have conceded 28 and 25 goals, respectively. Neither Rennes nor Marseille are perfect in defense. In the first round of the current season, the opponents played a productive draw of 1-1. We expect goals from both sides in this match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
