Marseille really have difficult matches ahead of them in the rest of the season. And Rennes seem to be the most serious opponent for them. Because they are only three points away in the standings at the moment. And playing a home match is going to be a big advantage for Rennes too. But when it comes to my opinion, I still expect to see Marseille finishing the season at the second position anyway. But it might be by a really close point difference I think. Finishing the season there is important for these teams as they are going to be in the CL groups then.
Marseille's defeat when faced with Lyon was very detrimental to them, because with this defeat it gave Rennes and Monaco an opportunity to get
closer to Marseille's points. Now the difference between Marseille's points with Rennes and Monaco is only 3 points. So if Marseille lose points again,
it is not impossible that Marseille will be replaced by Rennes or Monaco. If that happens it will be quite painful for Marseille, because if Marseille fail
to hold on to their position, Marseille's opportunity to play in the Champions League next season was lost. So Marseille must be able to win the remaining
3 games to ensure they can be in second place until the end of the season. But it will not be easy, because Marseille will still face Rennes who is
one of Marseille's strongest competitors.
