Draw
Both teams are fighting for Champions League football next season with Marseille having a six-point advantage at this turning point of the season. In the last ten encounters between these teams, there were four draw games with Marseille winning four times, and Rennes getting the better of the outcome on a couple of occasions. Rennes has been the best home team this season with eleven wins and two losses, and even though this Rennes vs Marseille prediction is angling for a drawn finish, the home side didn't play a single split game in front of their fans this season. On the other side of things, Marseille is the best away team in the league with nine wins, a couple of draws, and only a single defeat. So, it might be time for another draw between these equally matched teams.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
These are the teams more than capable of scoring goals at will, they proved that much during this challenging season. Even though Rennes has lost its best scorer in Martin Terrier, they still need to be respected, and the visiting side won't fail in that aspect. From their last five matches, Rennes had three with BTTS covered, while Marseille did the same thing. Curiously, only two of their last five h2h encounters ended with both teams scoring, so this Rennes vs Marseille match could go either way, but with a lot more confidence on the side of BTTS being settled.

Rennes vs Marseille Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Rennes
After having a rough first couple of months after the winter break, Rennes has finally found its rhythm getting some important wins to get them back into the fight for Champions League places next season. Losing Martin Terrier for the rest of the season was a big hit for Rennes, but it seems they have managed to find ways to win games without its best scorer. Besides Terrier, there are additional injury problems for the home team. Flavien Tait, Hamari Traore, Lorenz Assignon, and Xeka are all unavailable for the match in question.
Possible lineup: Mandanda, Spence, Omari, Theate, Truffert, Majer, Bourigeaud, Santamaria, Doku, Kalimuendo, Salah.
Marseille
The Marseille players felt that they have an actual chance of catching PSG at the top of the rankings and making the title race an interesting one. However, they were grounded last weekend by the same PSG who escaped Marseille with a convincing 3-0 victory. However, there is still a lot at stake for Marseille fighting for a Champions League spot as well as having a good shot at taking the winner's trophy in the French Cup competition. Marseille has Samuel Gigot injured before the big match on Sunday.
Possible lineup: Lopez, Mbemba, Balerdi, Kolasinac, Clauss, Rongier, Veretout, Tavares, Under, Ounahi, Sanchez.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Lovro Majer
The Croatia international caught some attention from some of the biggest clubs in Europe after his great run of form during the first part of the season. However, after coming from World Cup duty, he hasn't played his best football. It seems, that things are starting to change in the last couple of games, and he is ready to add to his modest tally of a single goal and three assists so far this season.
