Marseille vs. Rennes Betting Analysis
Marseille
Marseille are in red-hot form right now. They head into this cup game having picked up seven successive victories, seeing off the likes of Lyon, Monaco and Lorient along the way.
In the opening round of the French Cup, the Phocaeans eased to victory against Hyeres. Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring from the spot on the stroke of halftime, and Ahmadou Bamba Dieng added a second 20 minutes from time.
After six straight Ligue 1 wins and no defeats in seven, Igor Tudor’s men have leapt up the league table. Marseille are now in third place, just five points behind leaders PSG. The Olympians have won 13, drawn three and lost three so far.
The Marseille schedule is a busy one, but the home side are looking to keep their fine winning streak going with another victory in the French Cup this Friday.
Read on for our Marseille vs Stade Rennes prediction.
Rennes
Rennes have been on the rise in French soccer over the last few seasons or so, and the Red and Blacks are having another solid season in Ligue 1.
The Stade Rennais standings and stats are pretty decent, as Bruno Genesio’s boys are in the European places in Ligue 1 and still in the UEFA Europa League. At the time of writing, Rennais are sitting pretty in fifth with 37 points to their name. They have won 11, drawn four, and lost four.
Rennes upset the champions and current leaders last time out. Paris were the big favorites at Roazhon Park, but Rennais certainly deserved the points. Hamari Traore scored the only goal of the game 20 minutes into the second half.
Rennes are more than capable of upsetting the home side at the Velodrome. Our Marseille vs Stade Rennais prediction along with the latest soccer betting odds are below.
Marseille vs. Rennes Betting Preview
Marseille are the bookies’ favorites to get the win on home turf and progress to the last 16 of the French Cup. Right now, the Olympians are available at just evens.
Rennes are in fine fettle themselves and could cause Marseille problems. They have already left the Velodrome with a point in the league this season. The away win is priced at +230, while the draw in the 90 is available at +240.
Marseille vs. Rennes Betting Prediction
Marseille are one of the form sides in French soccer right now. They have been on a stunning run under Tudor, turning themselves into genuine title contenders. The league is always the priority, but can the Phocaeans win the Coupe de France for the first time since the 1988-89 season?
Rennes are having another strong season in Ligue 1. However, the 2022 FIFA World Cup break has proved to be a hindrance, as they have suffered two defeats in four Ligue 1 matches since returning to action.
Our money is going on a home victory, and there is good value in +300 for the Marseille win and both teams to score.
We also like the look of over 2.5 goals at -118.
