Marseille vs Rennes prediction and betting tips on May 17 2025
Game Prediction
In the 34th round of Ligue 1 France on May 17, 2025, Marseille will host Rennes. The home side is focused only on victory against an opponent who has had a poor season.
Our Prediction for Marseille vs Rennes
The club from "Velodrome" had an unsuccessful last season. They earned only 50 points, just one more than Lens, and finished outside the European cup zone, in eighth place. The visitors collected four points fewer, ultimately rounding out the top 10 in the final Ligue 1 table.
This summer, "Olympique" appointed De Zerbi as head coach and signed a number of high-profile newcomers. But their ambitions risk going unfulfilled again—regular slip-ups prevent them from pulling away from rivals in the race for second place. Only at the end of April did things begin to improve, but a 1-1 draw with Lille limited their progress. However, they did beat Le Havre 3-1 and stayed in second place. The visitors, on the other hand, have failed to improve—losing more than half their matches again. Even the coaching change, bringing in Habib Beye, paid off to some extent and helped at least avoid the threat of relegation. Perhaps that's why they've approached the end of the season with losses—not only to Lyon, but also to Toulouse. In the last round, they finally managed a convincing 2-0 win over Nice.
Greenwood and company average more than two goals per game (precisely 2.12). Their goals conceded are a third lower—1.36 per match. Their opponent has an almost equal goal record: 1.48 scored and 1.39 conceded per match.
