LiontipsRennes - Marseille: betting tip (cf 2.10) and bets on the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Bretons are declaring great ambitions at the start of the new season, and they had a great finish to the last championship. In the first three rounds, Frank Eze's team lost points only in the match against PSG (2:2), although they won 2 against Parisians after the first half.:0. In the game against Le Mans, who competed in Ligue 2 last season, they managed to snatch victory only in stoppage time. The team won 3-2, scoring the third goal from the penalty spot in the majority. The last away match was also marked by a 2-1 victory over Angers, thanks to two quick goals by the 17th minute of the meeting.
At this stage, Rennes is in fifth place in the standings with seven points and is two points behind the leader Monaco. Next week, the red-blacks begin their performance in the Europa League, and the results that the team shows at the start of the French championship can lead to a very successful performance in the European Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Seydoux and Cisse on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Rennes has scored two goals in the first half in every game since the start of the championship.
- In the first half, the red-blacks earned only one yellow card in three matches.
The approximate line–up: Samba - Frankowski, Cresswell, Ait Budlal, Merlin– Thomasson, Rongier, Szymanski – Blah, Lepol, Al-Tamari.
Current form
The Provencals are failing the start of the French championship and have caught a crisis. This is the worst start for the team in the last 19 years, and next week they will start in the Europa League. Rivals in the person of Bayer, Besiktas, Olympiacos, Sturm, Celta, Celtic, Anderlecht and Levski will not give any concessions, and the hope of experience in European competitions can play a cruel joke with Marseille.
In the opening round, Bruno Genesio's team showed a high-class offensive game and inflicted a crushing defeat on Strasbourg (4-0). After that, the team did not win anymore and fell into a crisis. Next, the Southerners were defeated by Monaco (0:2), and in the last home match against Paris, they lost in a shootout 2.:3. Thus, three points in the asset and a low 11th place in the standings. Marseille lost several leaders in the offseason and, most likely, will not be able to fight for high places, and the bench is not that long.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nnadi and Kondogbia will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five meetings against Rennes, Marseille scored at least two goals.
- Marseille have earned just one yellow card since the start of Ligue 1.
Approximate line–up: De Lange - Weah, Egan-Riley, Ager, Emerson – Abdelli, Heybjerg –Arith, Gomez, Paixao –Guiri.
Trends
The bet is an accurate score of 3:1
In 1 of the last 3 meetings, the guests lost by a two-goal margin.
Betting 1st half: Rennes victory
In the last three matches, the Red-blacks won in the first half.
Bet 2nd half: Marseille will score
In 4 of the last 5 games, the Bretons conceded in the second half.
Tip and bets
Rennes is approaching the match as the favorite. The wards of Frank Eze do not yet know the bitterness of defeats in Ligue 1 – two wins in a row and a fighting draw with PSG. It should be noted that the winless streak at Roazon Park has six consecutive games. The Bretons have no serious personnel problems. At the same time, the main strength at the start of the French championship lies in a powerful game in the first half – six goals scored in three matches.
Two defeats in a row for Marseille were a serious blow to the defensive line. The Provencals very often allowed Monaco and Paris to pass through the central zone unhindered, lost in rebounds and conceded five goals. The red-blacks, in turn, constantly press and immediately punish opponents for such mistakes. We believe that Rennes will win a landslide victory.
Prediction – Rennes wins with a coefficient of 2.10
Bet on the total
Rennes has been playing well in attack since the start of the championship, and seven goals have already been scored, which is one of the best indicators of the season. It should be noted that in the last two red-black matches out of three in Ligue 1, there were at least four goals from both clubs, which indicates a good choice of betting on a high total. We can assume that the scoring extravaganza will take place, as in the last face-to-face confrontation of the rivals.
The betting tip is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.30
Betting on corners
Rennes is likely to rely on ball control and will play number one, as only a victory will allow Eze's players to get closer to the first Monaco. It should be noted that since the start of Ligue 1, more than nine corners have been served in the games of the Bretons, and we expect that there will be no fewer today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.70
