The Stade Rennais travel to Marseille’s Vélodrome on Sunday evening (9 PM CET) for their last Ligue 1 fixture of the season. With a trip to the Champions League hanging in the balance, victory against the struggling Olympique de Marseille could secure the third spot—though much depends on results elsewhere.

The Stade Rennais have already locked in European football next season after last weekend’s triumph over Paris FC. But a win in southern France would not only send them into the Champions League but also mark a statement in their final league outing. Coach Habib Beye, now in charge at Marseille, faces his former club in a game laden with extra significance. His Marseille side has struggled since his arrival, collecting only 16 points in 11 matches.

For Rennes, the stakes are clear: beat Marseille and avoid defeat, and they leap into the Champions League. Lose or draw, they’ll settle for the Europa League. With kick-off at 21:00 CET, live coverage begins at 20:30 on ICI Armorique, featuring commentary by François Rauzy and Flavien Tait—who knows Champions League nights with the club from his 2020 campaign.
