Marseille are finishing the season on a high note-and they're not looking back. Sitting 2nd in the Ligue 1 table with 62 points (19W-5D-9L), the club has confirmed its return to the UEFA Champions League next season after a 3-1 victory against Le Havre (www.tribuna.com). Roberto De Zerbi's charge has the right mix of style and structure. Their recent form of LWWDW speaks of consistency, while their record at home (WLWWW) shows how intimidating Vélodrome has become.
In the last match, they humiliated Brest 4-1 in an emphatic statement. On the transfer front, some of the rumors are: Luis Henrique having agreed terms with Inter Milan (www.sempreinter.com), Leroy Sané as the transfer target in the summer (www.thesun.co.uk), and Jonathan Rowe's loan turning permanent. The club remains set on Adrien Rabiot and has eyes on Ramy Bensebaini as defensive reinforcements (www.talksport.co.uk).
By the numbers, they’ve gone unbeaten in 4, scoring first in 5 of their last 6, but having conceded in 9 consecutive matches. Seven out of their last 8 matches have ended over 2.5 goals, with both sides finding the net in 7 of those, so prepare for some goals to pour in this weekend, intensity going sky-high, and emotions running wild in the stands.

🔖 Expected Lineup: Rulli, Balerdi, Cornelius, Murillo, Garcia, Rongier, Højbjerg, Rabiot, Gouiri, Greenwood, Rowe (www.football-linueps.com).

✈️ Stade Rennes: form and statistics
Unpredictable form is something that Stade Rennes brings into this fixture. Presently sitting at 11th position with 41 points (13W-2D-18L), Stade Rennes secured a 2-0 victory against OGC Nice on 10 May, with Arnaud Kalimuendo netting both goals (StadeRennais.com). That result ended two successive defeats and galvanized the spirits of the coach Beye, who joined the side in January and has since had his contract extended up to 2026 (www.wikipedia.com).
Their away form remains shaky-LWWLL-but in recent times, they've shown the ability to spring up surprise results. Rennes games are usually exciting, with 4 of their last 5 matches witnessing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
The departure of senior goalkeeper Steve Mandanda will mark the end of an era at the season's closure. Meanwhile, Rennes are currently looking for midfield support in Diarra from Strasbourg among others with an aim to overhaul their squad for next season (www.getfootballnewsfrance.com).
Kalimuendo is in excellent form, and Beye is bringing stability to the club, giving Rennes the ability to pose a threat to Marseille with its leaky backline—although they must get a near-perfect performance, with inconsistencies still proving the bane of their existence.
📝 Stade Rennes Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: Samba, Rouault, Truffert, Brassier, Jacquet, Matusiwa, Blas, Koné, Cissé, Kalimuendo, Al Ta'mari (www.Football-lineups.com).
⛔️ Out: A. Sishuba, Alidu Seidu, D. Alemdar (www.besoccer.com).
👤Head coach: Habib Beye

This match looks set to go according to precedent: goals at both ends, but no free-for-all. Marseille is in form and will want to take advantage of home conditions, but Rennes will be no pushovers. Kalimuendo is expected to be a menace, while Marseille's attacking front—Greenwood, Rowe, and Gouiri—will undoubtedly be the spark. The stat line suggests that both teams will score, but not necessarily in abundance. It's going to be a tactical bout, with Marseille setting the tempo and going after Rennes' frailties on the road.
