Rennes - Olympique Marseille betting tips and odds

Though Rennes definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Olympique Marseille are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Olympique Marseille are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.50 on them winning.

Despite the disadvantage of playing away, Rennes won their previous matchup with a close but convincing score of 0:1. To be fair, top online bookmakers were quite optimistic going in, but an HT/FT away victory is always good for morale.

While Olympique Marseille’s previous Ligue 1 match-up was somewhat hard for them, though the fact that they played as hosts made fans hope for a positive outcome. Such hopes were in vain - Olympique Marseille were already behind at half-time, and the game ended in a decisive 0:3 victory for Paris Saint Germain.

Rennes’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 6 goals in the last three away games.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Olympique Marseille is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

Rennes’s 5th placement on the table is 4 points behind a Europa League qualification. They’ll have to scramble to get every point possible if they want to end the season on a high note, and time is running out.

Olympique Marseille supporters have a lot to be happy about with what they’ve seen, but it’s not over yet. Their strong form brought them to be number 2nd on the table, holding a Champions League qualifying spot. They can’t afford to drop their focus now – not with a difficult matchup coming up this Sunday.

These two teams met earlier this season and the final result was a draw. Olympique Marseille are playing as the away team this time, which puts some doubt as to whether they’ll be able to pull ahead this time. According to the betting odds, though, they’re still the favourites.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.98, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
