The tension mounts

Clauss gives way
It was one of the best Marseilles of the evening. Clauss gives way to Issa Kaboré for the last minutes of this match.
Marseille defends low
OM’s strategy now seems rather clear with a very low block. Rennes has the ball and can approach the opposing area.

The Marseille captain made an excellent comeback and was ahead of Kalimuendo. Valentin Rongier even gets the fault.
Kolasinac unlocks the encounter!
And you had to ask. The meeting is unlocked on a free kick quickly played by the Marseillais. Ünder serves on a Kolasinac plate at the far post which pushes the ball into the back of the net.
This is not great football
The half-time obviously did not do the actors of this meeting any good. The meeting is still struggling as much to get carried away and the two teams are multiplying the technical faults.
OM’s three-way game
Clauss overflows in his lane, gives it to Ünder who delivers in one touch to Sanchez but it’s too long.
Malinovskyi is already reporting
On a corner pushed back in the axis by the Rennes defense, Ruslan Malinovskyi controls and connects with the left foot but it is largely out of frame.

Superb save from Lopez!
Karl Toko-Ekambi finds Arnaud Kalimuendo at the back post who tries to deceive Lopez with a header but the Marseille goalkeeper makes a nice save.
Doku will have to give up his place
On a previous acceleration once morest Kolasinac, Jérémy Doku seems to have collapsed and gives way to Désiré Doué.
Welcome back from Tavares
Nuno Tavares returns well to his area and puts order in the latter following a good overflow from Toko-Ekambi.
Spence makes a good start to the game
English full-back Djed Spence made a very good start to the match and has a lot of activity in his right lane.
Gouiri finds the bar!
Amine Gouiri is served by Adrien Truffert near the surface. The former Lyonnais controls and continues with a shot from the inside of the foot which smashes the bar of Lopez.
Toko Ekambi crosses too much
Karl Toko Ekambi enters the area and shoots at the near post but it ends up in the small outside net of Pau Lopez.
Clauss stumbles on Mandanda
Matteo Guendouzi finds Clauss in depth. The former Lensois tries to slip the ball under Steve Mandanda but the former Marseillais does not let himself be fooled.
What spence work

Some inaccuracies
This beginning of the match is marked by some inaccuracies on both sides.
OM have the ball
This start to the game is dominated by the Marseillais who confiscate the ball from the opponents.
Already a big opportunity!

Kick-off in 15 minutes
The kick-off of this last match of the 26th day of Ligue 1 between Rennes and OM will begin in a quarter of an hour.
Marseille can use their away streak
If OM have a complicated week, the Olympians might rely on the excellent series they maintain away from home. They have won their last six trips to Ligue 1.
OM’s nightmarish week
Before this trip to Rennes this Sunday evening, OM had a very difficult week with the defeat in the Classic a week ago once morest Paris (0-3) and elimination in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France once morest Annecy on penalties.
The composition of OM, Malinovskyi on the bench
Here is OM’s starting XI without Ruslan Malinovskyi who starts on the bench: Lopez – Mbemba, Bailly, Kolasinac – Clauss, Rongier (c), Veretout, Tavares – Ünder, Guendouzi – Sanchez.
The composition of Rennes with offensive assets
Bruno Genesio should opt for an offensive strategy with a starting lineup provided with attackers. Here it is: Mandanda – Spence, Omari, Theate, Truffert – Doku, Bourigeaud (c), Santamaria, Toko-Ekambi – Kalimuendo, Gouiri.
And the Stade Rennes group
Jeremy Doku is there.
The OM group for the match
No notable absence, except perhaps that of François-Régis Mughe, author of a goal once morest Annecy on Wednesday.
The probable composition of l’OM
On the ground of Rennes this Sunday, Igor Tudor might revive Eric Bailly in defense and rely on his usual executives to react following the defeat once morest PSG and especially the elimination in the Coupe de France once morest Annecy. The group will be communicated this Sunday morning but except last minute glitch, here is a probable eleven:
The probable composition of l’OM: Pau Lopez – Mbemba, Bailly, Kolasinac – Clauss, Rongier, Veretout (or Guendouzi), Tavares – Under, Malinovskyi – Sanchez.
