Stade Rennais will host Olympique Marseille at the Roazhon Park on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have struggled for form in the league of late and are falling behind in the race for continental football. They played out a 2-2 draw against Lille in their last match and enjoyed a bright start to the match, taking a two-goal lead midway through the first half before a lapse in concentration saw them concede twice in the final 10 minutes as they extended their winless streak against Les Dogues.
Stade Rennais sit eighth in the league table with 36 points from 25 matches. They are three points behind their weekend opponents and will draw level with a win on Sunday.
Olympique Marseille, meanwhile, have found good form in the league of late and are pushing for the European places in the table. They beat struggling Nantes 2-0 in their last league outing with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring a brace before securing a 5-3 aggregate victory over La Liga outfit Villarreal on Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League.
