Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Olympique Marseille
Match Time & Date:
26/08/2018
03:00 PM
Prediction: 3-1
Stade Rennes
Olympique Marseille will be looking to bounce back from a shocking 3-1 loss to Nimes when they welcome Rennes at their Stade Velodrome on day 3 of the new Ligue 1 campaign. OM have big ambitions for the 2018/2019 season, but they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to keep their hopes of winning the domestic title alive. Florian Thauvin, who has already netted two goals in the Ligue 1 this season, will be the man to watch in the home team and we predict that he is going to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better displays at home than on the travels and, taking everything into account, we believe that Olympique Marseille are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s football game.

Highlighted Player (Dimitri Payet):
Dimitri Payet was born in Saint-Pierre, Reunion on 29 March 1987, but he joined Le Havre’s famous youth academy in 1999 and has since enjoyed a meteoric rise. The attacking midfielder started his professional career at Nantes, but top French clubs soon started casting admiring glances his way and he went on to represent Saint Etienne, Lille and Marseille, becoming one of Ligue 1’s leading footballers.
However, it was the move to West Ham that placed Payet on the map as the Frenchman enjoyed a brilliant start to his career in England, making the PFA Player of the Year Shortlist. Some excellent performances in the Premier League persuaded France coach Didier Deschamps to reinstate Payet into his starting line-up and the midfielder paid the coach back with some scintillating displays on international stage.
Excellent with the ball at his feet and very dangerous from set pieces, Payet quickly established himself as one of Europe’s top midfielders, with the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal and other top clubs now after his signature.
Highlighted Team (Stade Rennes):
Stade Rennais Football Club or simply Rennes is a French football club which was founded on March 10, 1901. The club is one of the founding members of the French Ligue 1 and they are nicknamed Les Rouges et Noirs. Roazhon Park is the club’s home ground and the venue can hold 29.778 people. Rennes have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy, but they won Coupe de France title on two occasions (1964/1965, 1970/1971). Speaking of Coupe de la Ligue, les Rouges et Noirs made it to the final of the competition in the 2012/2013 season, but they were beaten by Saint Etienne (1-0) in the title game at Stade de France.
A number of top-class footballers played for Stade Rennais Football Club in the past and the likes of Sylvain Wiltord, Yoann Gourcuff, Yann M’Vila, Moussa Sow and Jimmy Briand are considered the club’s most notable players. Rennes footballers wear black and red jerseys when playing at home, while they wear white when playing on the travels.
