Marseille vs Rennes Predictions

• Both teams have kept just six clean sheets apiece in their 27 Ligue 1 matches this term.
• The hosts have conceded in all 13 of their league outings at Stade Velodrome.
• Marseille have won just two of their last 13 games in all competitions, losing seven.
• Rennes have lost five games on the spin in all competitions and are without a victory in eight (D1, L7).

BTTS the right play at the Velodrome

The bookmakers can’t split Marseille and Rennes ahead of their Ligue 1 clash at Stade Velodrome this Wednesday night and that’s a pretty accurate reflection based on both sides’ atrocious recent form.

Marseille parted company with Andre Villas-Boas towards the end of last month but the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli has made little difference thus far. The Argentine’s reign started with a decent 1-1 draw here against Lyon, but Les Olympiens have since lost 2-0 at Lille before a humiliating 2-1 Coupe De France reverse against minnows Canet Roussillon.

The hosts simply can’t be backed this week after winning just one and losing six of their last 11 top flight starts, though the same can also be said of Rennes who travel to Stade Velodrome aiming to avoid a sixth defeat on the spin.

Rennes supporters will be hoping that new boss Bruno Genesio can start turning things around, but this really looks a clash to avoid for punters in terms of the match betting.

Both teams to score appeals as a more viable alternative based on how poorly these sides have defended of late and they’ve each kept just six clean sheets apiece from 27 league matches this season.

Marseille have also failed to maintain a single shut-out at the Velodrome this term, so BTTS is our recommendation for Wednesday’s action in the south of France and we’re also tipping up a 1-1 score-line with neither team fancied to bag all three points.
