Rennes aim to solidify their place in the Europa League positions against a Marseille side desperate to halt a two-game losing slide.
Rennes sit fifth in the early Ligue 1 standings with seven points, currently holding a place in the Europa League positions. Franck Haise’s side are one of only five teams yet to suffer defeat this season, coming into this fixture following a 2-1 away win at Angers. Having secured seven points from a possible nine, they sit just one point clear of the cut with 31 games remaining.
Marseille occupy 10th place and are looking to find their feet after a mixed start. Despite an opening 4-0 win over Strasbourg, Bruno Génésio's team have since suffered back-to-back defeats against Monaco and Paris FC. They currently sit three points and four places off the continental qualification places, needing a result to prevent falling further behind the early pace-setters.
