Prediction: 2-2
Marseille
All eyes will be on Roazhon Park when Rennes and Olympique Marseille in the Ligue 1 round 26. Les Rouges et Blancs are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and they are surely capable of matching OM in front of home fans. Even though all Tait, Traore, Assignon, Xeka, and Terrier remain in the recovery room, we predict that the hosts are going to find the net in Sunday’s clash.
OM, on the other hand, are determined to book their place in the Champions League, but they could be low on spirits following a heavy 3-0 loss to PSG and Le Classique. Since the visitors are desperate to return to winning ways as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Samuel Gigot remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.

Born in Longjumeau, France on February 2, 1993, Flavien Tait is a French footballer who plays for Angers as a midfielder. Tait began his youth career at Rodez and in 2010 he moved to Chateauroux.

Highlighted Team (Marseille):
Olympique de Marseille are considered one of the best French football clubs. Les Olympiens won their ninth Ligue 1 title in 2010, but winning of the 1992/1993 Champions League trophy is seen as the club’s biggest success. Marseille defeated Italian giants Milan in the title game, with Basile Boli scoring the winner (1-0) in the Olympiastadion showdown.
It has to be noted, though, that the Stade Velodrome outfit were banned from defending the title in the 1993/1994 season after being involved in a match-fixing scandal. To make things even worse for the fans, the club suffered enforced relegation to the Ligue 2. Olympique de Marseille participated in the Europa League final on two occasions (1998/1999, 2003/2004), but they were beaten by Parma and Valencia respectively in the title games. OM’s home ground Stade Velodrome was opened on June 13, 1997 and the capacity of the stadium is 67.394.
The likes of Franck Ribery, Didier Deschamps, Didier Drogba, Laurent Blanc, Fabien Barthez, Samir Nasri, Fabrizio Ravanelli and Djibril Cisse all played for Marseille in the past.
