Rennes had a poor season last season, finishing only 12th in the league table, but demonstrating excellent performance - 51 goals scored and 50 conceded.
Marseille took second place, securing a place in the UEFA Champions League group stage. The "southerners" were active in the summer transfer market, strengthening their squad, especially in the attack.
Last season, both head-to-head meetings ended in victories for Marseille, but still, at the start of the season, sensations in matches with favorites often happen, and Rennes are always more dangerous at home.
