Rennes vs Marseille Prediction 13 December 2017

On December 13 2017 at 19:45 at the Roazhon Park the local Rennes will play against Olympique from Marseille in the upcoming game of the Coupe de la Ligue.

The current season seems to be a great one for Rennes, in fact. Despite the fact that nobody will manage to stay in the race for the championship with PSG, any team may compete for the rest of the places near the top. In the latest game they didn’t manage to outplay the outsiders Metz and only drew 1:1. Yet, Rennes are now on the sixth position in the table with 25 points gained. As for their campaign in the Coupe de la Ligue, Rennes have already played one game in it as they outplayed Dijon 2:1.

As for Marseille, they take part in three competitions at the same time in the current season and they are comparatively successful in all of them. In the latest match of the national championship Marseille managed to outplay Saint-Etienne with the convincing 3:0 score. At the moment Marseille have 35 points, just like Monaco and Lyon don. Yet, Lyon have a better goal difference which lets them take the third place in the table and makes Marseille stay on the fourth position. As for the cup competition, Marseille didn’t participate in it before and the upcoming game against Rennes will be the first one for them in the current season of that competition.

In the latest five games played between the teams Rennes won three times while Marseille only won twice. Considering the fact that Marseille made it to the play-offs of the Europa League, they may actually choose to leave the Coupe de la Ligue this time. In the other hand, they still have a lot of time before the start of it and they may reject losing to the team like Rennes. That’s why it seems to us that Marseille are more likely to make it to the next stage of the competition.
