Pre-match preview

Rennes

Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal is expected to return at left centre-back after missing the win over Angers for the birth of his child. Anthony Rouault made his first start in Boudlal’s absence, but the position remains unsettled between them.

Quentin Merlin and Mahamadou Nagida are also competing at left-back, with Merlin expected to start against Marseille. Sebastian Szymański is likely to retain his place in midfield, although Mahdi Camara is another candidate after making his first start against Angers. Brice Samba has recovered from a minor muscle injury and should continue in goal.

Marseille

Geoffrey Kondogbia will miss out for Marseille, sidelined by a thigh injury after starting twice in the club's last three matches. His absence in defence looks set to keep Nayef Aguerd in the side, with the centre-back handed his first start there against Paris FC.

Bruno Genesio has also preferred Igor Paixão to Quinten Timber on the left of attack, a decision reflected again in Friday's line-up. Angel Gomes and Himad Abdelli have started every match between them but were substituted in each one, so neither has completed a full 90 minutes in any of Marseille's last three games.
