Prediction
Our expert pick:
In this match, we do not see much intrigue. The level of Marseille is much higher than that of Rennes. So the guests, who have not won so often lately, there is no point in counting on success. The series of victories for the Marseillais will continue, we believe. We bet on the victory of "Marseille" with a coefficient of 2.25 from BC 1xBet. But still, we don't think that Marseille will easily manage to win here. Still, Rennes in the last round was able to defeat the strongest French club PSG. Therefore, many goals will be scored in their head-to-head match with the Marseillais, we are sure. We also bet on a total over 2.5 goals with a quote of 1.91 from the bookmaker 1xBet.
