OM host Stade Rennes this Sunday December 3 on the 14th day of Ligue 1. It is a clash between two injured beasts after a failed start to the season. Follow the match live.
21:25 – It’s over for Theate (40′)
He was trying to stay on the lawn but can no longer hold on. Arthur Theate gives way to Warmed Omari. It’s a big blow for the Bretons in this OM – Rennes.
21:22 – A hard blow for Rennes? (37′)
For several minutes, Arthur Theate seems to be suffering from pain in his left calf. Julien Stephan sent Warmed Omari to warm up.
21:19 – Bourigeaud attempts a complicated move (34′)
The Rennes captain tries to surprise Pau Lopez on a coming corner in this OM – Rennes. The ball ends its course above the Olympian goalkeeper’s cages.
21:17 – Gouiri blames himself (32′)
The former Lyonnais expressed his dissatisfaction after a slightly soft pass towards Bourigeaud when a shift could have been made. The Rennais lack precision when they approach the opposing cages in this OM – Rennes.
21:15 – What a gesture from Le Fée (29′)
The Breton midfielder eliminates Lodi with a superb hook behind his support but the Marseille defense comes out on the former Lorient player and prevents the latter from finding a teammate in the center.
21:14 – The serenity of Mandanda (29′)
The former Marseille goalkeeper comes out of his area, controls his chest and clears his side with a volley.
21:11 – The Marseille defense holds (26′)
Benjamin Bourigeaud is found at the far post and initially tries to cross but it is blocked as is his shot afterwards. The Rennais continue to push in this OM – Rennes.
21:08 – Gouiri makes the effort (23′)
The former Lyonnais completely misses his pass but makes up for it by blocking Sarr’s cross. There have been some inaccuracies since the start of this OM – Rennes.
21:05 – OM plans quickly (20′)
The Olympians have counter opportunities in this OM – Rennes but cannot really worry Mandanda like this crushed shot from Ounahi.
21:03 – Ounahi pushes back for a corner (18′)
The Rennais are more and more pressing and Azzedine Ounahi is well inspired defensively to push back for a corner while Amine Gouiri could take advantage of it.
21:01 – What an opportunity for Terrier (16′)
The former Lyonnais plays Samuel Gigot and attempts a powerful shot but it ends up just above Pau Lopez’s bar. What an opportunity to equalize in this OM – Rennes for the visitors.
9:00 p.m. – Harit’s hard work (15′)
The Moroccan plays with Theate and knocks him down before looking for Ndiaye in depth but Steve Mandanda is out and can recover the leather.
20:58 – Truffert’s cross is long (13′)
The Rennes full-back tries to bring danger into the Marseille area but his center leaks and ends up off goal in this OM – Rennes.
20:56 – The Rennes reaction (10′)
Martin Terrier already wanted to respond to Aubameyang but his header ended up in the outside net of Pau Lopez who seemed to have been surprised.
20:54 – Aubameyang doesn’t tremble! (7′)
Steve Mandanda is wrong-footed by Aubameyang who changes his way of shooting compared to what he did against Ajax. His cross shot puts the Olympians on the right track in this OM – Rennes.
20:52 – Penalty for OM! (7′)
Willy Delajod points to the penalty point after a foul on Ndiaye in the area by Christopher Wooh. OM can open the score against Rennes very early in this meeting.
20:49 – Ndiaye stumbles (4′)
Harit tries to combine with Ndiaye but the Senegalese stumbles while turning around and the ball is lost for the Phocaeans in this OM – Rennes.
20:47 – Theate intervenes (2′)
The Belgian defender is vigilant while Geoffrey Kondogbia tried to alert Aubameyang in the Rennes area.
20:46 – Here we go!
Willy Delajod kicks off this last meeting of the 14th day of League 1 between OM and Rennes. Both teams urgently need points!
8:41 p.m. – Both teams return to the pitch
Less than five minutes from the kick-off of this OM – Rennes, the two teams return to the pitch at the Vélodrome stadium. The atmosphere rises and so does the pressure on the 22 players in the meeting.
20:34 – OM plays again this week
This is certainly something that Gennaro Gattuso and the Marseillais are taking into account before this OM – Rennes. The Phocéens will, unlike the Rennais, also be on the frontline this week with a late match to play against OL in the Championship.
20:27 – A goal-scoring duel?
This OM – Rennes could also be the meeting of two scorers who like the opposing club. Indeed, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contributed to nine goals in eleven matches played against the Breton team with six goals and three assists. Opposite, Amine Gouiri was involved in five goals in six matches against OM in the Championship with three goals and two assists.
8:20 p.m. – A first for Rennes this evening?
Julien Stephan would certainly like to sign his return to the Rennes bench in the best possible way. After winning the match against Reims last week (3-1) and the match against Maccabi Haifa in the middle of the week (3-0), the former Strasbourg coach could allow the Rennais to know, for the first time, this season, two successes in a row in Ligue 1.
20:13 – OM love Rennes
Rennes is perhaps the best possible opponent to revive OM in Ligue 1. The Phocéens have won four of their last seven matches against the Bretons in the elite (1d, 2d).
20:06 – Two teams qualified for the rest of the Europa League
If in Ligue 1 OM and Rennes are struggling, the two teams boast a much better record in the Europa League. Indeed, the Marseille club which won against Ajax this Thursday (4-3) retained first place in its group and is guaranteed to play at least the round of 16 of the Europa League. Same story for the Rennes who lost against Maccabi Haifa the same day (3-0). If the two clubs retain their first place at the end of the last day of the group stage, they would directly join the round of 16 of the competition.
