Last season’s Ligue 1 runners-up Marseille will start their 2025/26 campaign at Rennes this Friday. This will be officially the opening game of the new Ligue 1 season. Let’s have a look at the match prediction. Rennes had a disappointing season last term, finishing in the bottom half, yet again. We have a prediction for the match below.
Rennes will this time be targeting a finish higher than 12, their position last season. The hosts lost more than they won last season in the league.
Two of their 19 defeats were inflicted by Marseille, the same opponent they start against.
Marseille appointed Roberto de Zerbi as manager at the start of last season, and it proved to be a masterstroke. The coach led them to a second-place finish and back into the Champions League main draw.
Last season they finished a distant second, trailing the league leaders PSG by 19 points. Closing this gap between them and the competition for the league title will be very key for Marseille if they wish to return to the high table of European football.
In their second-place finish, Marseille collected 20 more points than Rennes and have only lost once in eight matches against their hosts.

Our Rennes vs Marseille Prediction
Marseille will once again go into this game as the favorites. They won on their last visit here, and on the strength of their finish last season, we will back them to have a good start to the campaign as well. Rennes haven't had great runs in Ligue 1 for the last two seasons now and psychologically would feel like underdogs.
They will, however, look to extend the fact that they scored in each of the last four matches against Marseille. Our prediction for Rennes v Marseille is for Marseille to win and over 2.5 goals.
