Marseille finished a Ligue 1 season in second place for the 14th time, that's at least five more than any other team. It is also the sixth time that OM has finished in one of the first two places with Paris SG, the joint-highest tally for a duo with PSG and Monaco.
Rennes finished the Ligue 1 season outside the top 10 (12th) for the first time since 2013-14 (12th), ending ten seasons in a row in the top ten.
Marseille have scored 74 goals in Ligue 1 2024-25, their third-highest tally in a Ligue 1 season in the 21st century (76 in 2014-15, 80 in 2017-18) and their best tally in a 34-match campaign since 1969-70 (75). OM also have an average of 2.18 goals scored per game in Ligue 1 this season, their highest in the top-flight since 1970-71 (2.47).
Marseille have won three of their last four home games against Rennes in Ligue 1 (D1), each time without conceding a single goal. OM have kept 12 clean sheets at home against SRFC in the 21st century, at least two more than against any other team during this period.
Marseille have finished just one of the last 12 Ligue 1 seasons with a defeat (W7 D4), losing 1-0 at Ajaccio on 3 June 2023.
Rennes have finished just one of the last seven Ligue 1 seasons with a defeat (W4 D2), but it was the most recent one, 1-2 at Reims to close out the 2023-24 campaign.
Marseille have scored 70 goals after 33 Ligue 1 games, their best tally at this stage since 1970-71 (74). This is already OM's third best total in a season in the 21st century (76 in 2014-15, 80 in 2017-18, but in seasons with 38 matchdays).
Rennes have only drawn twice this season in Ligue 1 (W13 L18) and will set the record for the fewest draws in a full season (i.e. excluding 2019-20) in the 21st century in the top-flight.
