Rennes come into this matchup looking sharp, confident, and already in rhythm, while Marseille feel like a team still trying to figure out who they are after a rough summer and two straight losses. Rennes have taken seven points from their first three matches, scored seven goals, and Esteban Lepaul looks locked in with three goals in three games. They’ve beaten Marseille in three of their last four meetings at Roazhon Park and haven’t lost at home in six straight competitive fixtures. Marseille, meanwhile, dropped points to Monaco and Paris FC, lost Aubameyang and Greenwood, and now head into a tough road match without Kondogbia and Nnadi. Gouiri has carried their attack, but the overall structure isn’t convincing. Rennes are playing with momentum, Marseille are searching for stability, and the form gap is too big to ignore. I’m backing the hosts to keep rolling.
