Olympique de Marseille vs Stade Rennais F.C. Prediction 18 September 2022

The program of the eighth round of Ligue 1 will continue in Marseille, where the team of the same name will face Rennes.

The current league season is shaping up to be surprisingly good for Marseille — with 19 points in the asset and a goal difference of 15:4, they are holding the second line of the tournament table. And in the previous five cases, the Provençals achieved maximum points, defeating Nantes 2:1, Nice 3:0, Clermont 1:0, Auxerre 2:0 and Lille 2:1.

At the same time, Rennes easily dealt with Angers (2:1), Brest (3:1) and Auxerre (5:0) at home, while away there was a 1:1 draw with Troyes and a 1:2 defeat against Lens. So far, the Red-Blacks feel good about themselves in sixth place, having earned 11 points with a 13:7 scored-conceded ratio.

Both teams score about two goals per game on average, and their skill level is about the same. In our opinion, we’ll wait for effective shots from both Marseille and Rennes.
