Prediction: 2-1
Marseille
All eyes will be on Roazhon Park when Rennes and Marseille go head to head in an eagerly-awaited Coupe de France game. Les Rouges et Noirs are on a three-game winning run in all competitions, but they face a tough challenge in Sunday’s showdown. Both Le Fee and Rieder limped off with injuries in a 2-0 win over Nice, with Jacquet and Salah likely to step up. Midfielder Christopher Wooh is on international duty.
OM, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg at the weekend. Anyhow, home win should be considered this time out as the visitors head into the match with a severely-weakened squad. The likes of Chancel Mbemba, Azzedine Ounahi, Amine Harit, Iliman Ndiaye, Ismaila Sarr, Pape Gueye, and Simon Ngapandouetnbu are on international duty, while OM winger Joaquin Correa is sidelined with an ankle problem.
