Rennes vs Marseille Prediction & Betting tips
Friday night at 21:45 a new season of Ligue 1, France begins and the debut match is the confrontation between Rennes and Marseille which will be hosted by the Roazhon Park arena. The confrontations last season between the two teams were very spectacular and both were won by Marseille, 2-1 in the away leg and 4-2 in the home leg. Interestingly, this summer there were two direct transfers between the two clubs, Rennes managing to buy two players from Marseille worth 18.5 million euros.
Rennes :
Rennes had a poor season in the previous edition, finishing 12th in the standings and one detail that places them in first place is the fact that they were the team with the fewest draws in Ligue 1, only two in 34 rounds. If Rennes had a good run at home, on the other hand the team had a very poor run away with only four wins, one draw and 13 defeats. In the six friendly matches played this summer, Rennes recorded four draws, one win and one defeat. The last friendly match played before the start of the season was the one with Genoa at home, which ended with a score of 2-2. Starting this season, Rennes will be coached by former Senegalese international Habib Beye, a coach with little experience, having previously worked at Red Star.
Marseille:
On the other hand, Marseille finished last season in 2nd place in the standings with 65 points and we can say that they had a very good season, because it is hard to believe that 1st place can be won in the following seasons by anyone other than PSG. Marseille invested a lot in transfers this summer, no less than 60 million euros, the most expensive transfer being that of Igor Paixao brought from Feyenoord for 30 million. Roberto De Zerbi will continue this season on the Marseille bench after the good job done last season.
