Marseille will close out their Ligue 1 2024/25 campaign against Rennes on Saturday, 17th May 2025 at the Stade Orange Vélodrome. This **final fixture of the season** could prove pivotal for both sides as they look to finish on a high note.
Kick-off times are set for 21:00 CEST across Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 20:00 BST in the UK. Fans tuning in will want to check their local listings for live coverage.
How are both teams coming into this?
Marseille have enjoyed a solid run at home in recent weeks, picking up wins in three of their last four matches at the Vélodrome. They’ve found the net with regularity, averaging nearly two goals per game, and will be keen to end the season in front of their own supporters on a positive note.
Rennes, meanwhile, have been inconsistent on the road but remain dangerous going forward. They’ve scored in each of their last five away fixtures, though defensive lapses have cost them points. A tight defensive display could be key if they are to leave Marseille with anything.
Our forecast
Given Marseille’s strong home form and Rennes’ defensive vulnerabilities away from Roazhon Park, we expect the hosts to control much of the game. Marseille should create the better chances and look likely to open the scoring.
However, Rennes have shown resilience and may get on the scoresheet themselves, particularly on the counter. We’re tipping a 2-1 victory for Marseille in what should be an entertaining end-of-season clash.
