Betting on Rennes
Rennes hold the fifth position in the overall domestic league scoreboard with 46 points, only four points away from getting the pass to the UEFA Europa League for next season.
Recent results have helped them stay in the fight, as they have managed to win their 2 most recent league matches, the last of which ended with their victory over Nantes on February 26.
In fact, they have gone 3 consecutive matches without losing in all competitions, although one of them meant their elimination from the aforementioned Europa League, where they managed to win the second leg against Shakhtar, but ended up losing in a penalty shootout.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Steve Mandanda; Djed Spence, Warmed Omari, Arthur Theate, Adrien Truffert; Benjamin Bourigeaud, Baptiste Santamaria, Lovro Majer; Amine Gouiri, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Karl Toko Ekambi.
Betting on Marsella
Marsella, on the other hand, currently hold the second place in Ligue 1 with 52 points, only eight points behind PSG, who are on course for yet another French top flight crown.
However, the team’s interests aim at a different direction, since they seek to secure the last vacant spot to qualify for the 23-24 Champions League. They could make a step further into achieving that goal last matchday, since they lost against PSG by 3-0.
They also had a poor performance in the Coupe de France during the week, even though they faced a second division team (FC Annecy), which eliminated them in a penalty shootout.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Pau Lopez; Chancel Mbemba, Eric Bailly, Sead Kolasinac; Sead Kolasinac, Valentin Rongier, Jordan Veretout, Nuno Tavares; Mattéo Guendouzi, Cengiz Ünder; Alexis Sanchez.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite nor having won their last 6 away games, Marsella seem to be going through a slump that does not suit them ahead of enemy grounds, where they have lost their last 2 games.
In addition, they will face the team that has the best record when playing at home, with 11 wins and 2 defeats so far, without drawing any of them. Given that Rennes are in a better shape than their opponents, it is expected that they achieve a positive outcome in matchday 26 of the competition.
Prediction: Rennes Asian Handicap (REN 1-0 MAR)
