How And Where To Watch Rennes vs Marseille in Ligue 1
Marseille head to Rennes under early pressure after back-to-back defeats, while the hosts look to extend their unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season.
Round 4 of Ligue 1 kicks off with arguably the most important game of the weekend with Rennes hosting Marseille live on Friday on beIN SPORTS.
Marseille Already Under Pressure
Marseille is rarely out of the headlines both on and off the pitch, due to up-and-down form and constant managerial changes. The new campaign looks no different. Marseille had gotten off to a strong start with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Strasbourg. But this was followed by a derby loss at Monaco and then a damaging home defeat by Paris FC last weekend.
While Amine Gouiri has played his role up front with four goals, the defense has been leaky with five conceded in the losses against Monaco and Paris FC, new Marseille coach, Bruno Genesio, has noted that there is "cause for concern" at the club. That could be worsened on Friday with Rennes waiting in the wings in Roazhon Park.
Rennes Looking to Extend Their Unbeaten Start
Rennes has made a solid start to the season with two wins and a draw, which was a 2-2 tie with PSG in the opening round where Rennes probably should have held on for victory.
Striker, Esteban LePaul, was the breakout star of the last campaign with 20 Ligue 1 goals, and he is proving that this was no fluke with three from three already. It's the kind of form that sees him called up to Zinedine Zidane's first provisional squad. The 26-year-old might want to cement that place with more goals against Timothy Weah's Marseille, a giant that can ill afford another slaying.
