Stade Rennais FC host Olympique de Marseille on Friday at Roazhon Park, in matchday 5 of Ligue 1, with kick off set for 18:45 GMT (20:45 local).
Stade Rennais FC riding a positive run
The Brittany club own a 2W-1D-2L record across their last five league matches, a run tracked in full on our fixtures page. Their most recent win, 2-1 away at Angers on 6 September, was built on P. Frankowski's 9th-minute goal, assisted by S. Szymanski. An own goal from J. Lefort in the 17th minute sealed the points for the Rouge et Noir.
Marseille searching for answers
Olympique de Marseille travel to Brittany off the back of a 2-3 home defeat to Paris FC and a 0-2 loss away at Monaco. The Phocéens had bounced back before that with a 4-0 win over Strasbourg on 21 August.
Likely lineups
In their last outing, Stade Rennais FC lined up in a 4-1-4-1 with B. Samba in goal, a back four of P. Frankowski, C. Cresswell, A. Rouault and Q. Merlin, and a midfield built around V. Rongier, L. Blas, S. Szymanski, M. Camara and M. Tamari, with E. Lepaul leading the line. The full squad list can be found on our squad page. Marseille's last starting eleven had J. De Lange in goal behind T. Weah, C. Egan-Riley, N. Aguerd and Emerson, with P. Hojbjerg holding in midfield and A. Harit, H. Abdelli, A. Gomes and I. Paixao supporting A. Gouiri.
