Both teams to score at Marseille vs Rennes 1/1 for Wednesday’s Ligue 1 matchup

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 1/1 @ 888sport

In a showdown between two French sides in the midst of a real sluggish patch, Marseille will host fellow strugglers Rennes on Wednesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, crashing out of the Coupe de France in a worrying fashion last weekend, Marseille are a side desperately seeking a boost. In their 27 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, nine draws and eight defeats, scoring 34 and conceding 32 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 39, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in eighth and already 16 points adrift of finding a route back into the European positions. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a shock 2-1 defeat against lower-league Canet Roussillon, Marseille have suffered back-to-back defeats across all formats and have failed to win any of their last four straight matchups. However, it should be noted, Wednesday’s hosts have seen four of their last five appearances finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a woeful run of form, Rennes have found themselves freefalling down the Ligue 1 table. In their 27 top-flight matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, eight draws and nine defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 31 in return. Opening up the midweek fixtures holding a points tally of 38, the French strugglers have freefallen their way down to 10th in the table and now hold just a three-point buffer from dropping out of the top-half. As for their recent run of results, including a defeat against Lyon last time out, Rennes have lost each of their last five straight matchups across all formats and they have failed to win any of their last eight fixtures. With four of the last five meetings between Wednesday’s opponents finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
