Rennes - Marseille

Marseille arrive at Roazhon Park on 11 September 2026 for this Ligue 1 matchday 4 clash desperate to arrest a slide that has seen them suffer consecutive defeats. The visitors must navigate this difficult trip without the influence of Geoffrey Kondogbia, whose absence in midfield leaves a significant hole in their engine room. Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg is expected to anchor the centre of the pitch alongside Himad Abdelli, as the side looks to recover from their recent setback against Paris FC.

In contrast, Rennes enter the contest with confidence after securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Angers last week. Their recent form has been resilient, featuring a high-scoring win against Le Mans and a creditable draw with Paris Saint-Germain. With Mousa Tamari and Esteban Lepaul expected to lead the line, the hosts will look to exploit Marseille's defensive vulnerabilities and improve upon their recent head-to-head record, which includes a 3-1 defeat in their last meeting on 17 May 2026.
