The late Ligue 1 match between FC Nantes and Stade Rennais is being played this Wednesday evening! A meeting of great importance for Olympique de Marseille in the race for second place in the Champions League!
Olympique de Marseille still has its destiny in its hands! With this victory against Lorient, the competitors in second place in Ligue 1 can no longer come back to Sampaoli’s men on this day. Monaco are 3 points away but have already played against LOSC. Rennes has 62 points, 6 points from Marseille, and could become a serious competitor again if they win the derby against Nantes.

This important match will be played tonight at 9 p.m. due to the Coupe de France final between Nantes and OGC Nice which took place last Saturday. The Canaries remain on a good victory against the Aiglons and will certainly want to give everything not to spoil the party at Beaujoire! A draw or a defeat of Stade Rennais would greatly arrange the affairs of the Marseillais a few days before facing the players of Genesio.

Reach the highest ranking possible, that’s second place
At a press conference, the Rennes coach spoke of his club’s goal of finishing second and qualifying for the Champions League.
“What should give us strength is to reach the highest ranking possible. Today is second place. It won’t happen by itself, it’s going to be very difficult, but you have to have that ambition when you’re a top player or a coach. It’s not to break records, it’s just what drives us as competitors. We will be happy if we are, it is always rewarding. After yes, it’s complicated because in terms of building the workforce, you have no guarantee. We know that these are also very difficult rounds to qualify (in C1). But many teams can still claim to finish second or sixth. For the moment, there is no plan to draw on the comet.

We prepared for it physically and mentally — Genesio
“Nantes is a very good team, which showed great things at the Stade de France against Nice, in the Cup final, as well as throughout the season, thanks to the work of Antoine Kombouaré. They have a good defensive structure and are formidable in the transition game. We expect a very difficult and committed derby. We prepared for it physically and mentally. We are focused on our European objective, which we hope will be the highest possible. » Bruno Genesio – Source: Press conference (09/05/2022)
