Rennes vs Marseille

Rennes-Marseille will equal Lyon-Monaco as the third most played match in Ligue 1 history with this 117th meeting. Beaten 2-4 on the last matchday last season, SRFC became the second team to concede 200 goals against the same opponent in the top-flight (after Metz, also against OM).

Marseille (76 counting 2025-26) and Rennes (69) are the two teams with the most seasons in Ligue 1 among those currently in the top-flight. They are also two of the four current L1 teams (with Metz and Nice) to have played in the very first edition of this championship in 1932-33.

Marseille are the team that has won the most matches in the history of Ligue 1 (1206) while Rennes is the one that has lost the most (955). OM are only one loss away from being the ninth team to suffer 800 defeats in the top-flight.

Rennes have finished the previous two Ligue 1 seasons in the bottom half of the table (10th/18 in 2023-24, 12th in 2024-25), but SRFC have never had three seasons in a row outside the top half of the table since their return to the top-flight in 1994.

Marseille have won each of their last five opening matches of a Ligue 1 season, the longest current streak. In each of these five matches, OM have scored and conceded at least one goal.
