The action continues in round 17 of Ligue 1 as Stade Rennais and Olympique Marseille lock horns at the Roazhon Park on Saturday. The two sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results.
The hosts were denied a dream start to the new year, as they suffered a 3-2 defeat against 10-man OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday. Before that, Jorge Sampaoli’s side won their final two outings in 2024, seeing off Angers 2-0 before claiming a 4-1 victory over Bordeaux in the Coupe de France.
Rennais have picked up 17 points from 16 matches to sit 14th in the points table, two points above 16th-placed Saint-Etienne in the relegation playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Marseille turned in a five-star display in their first outing of the year, as they thrashed Le Havre 5-1 at the Orange Velodrome on Sunday. Roberto De Zerbi’s men have gone six games without defeat, winning five, including a 4-0 victory over Saint-Etienne in December.
With 33 points from 16 matches, Marseille are second in the standings, seven points off leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
