The action continues in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France and Rennes and Marseille go head to head in an all-Ligue 1 affair at Roazhon Park on Sunday.
Having suffered a 1-0 loss when the sides met at this stage of the cup last season, Les Rouge et Noirs will head into the weekend looking to exact revenge against the visitors and maintain their 100% record in 2024.
Benjamin Bourigeaud converted his 31st-minute penalty to put the hosts in front before Arnaud Kalimuendo struck in the 54th minute to make sure of the result and hand the visitors their third Ligue 1 defeat of the season.
Julien Stephan's men have now picked up three wins on the bounce for the first time this season, a run which has seen them rise to 10th in the Ligue 1 table, level on 22 points with 11th-placed Le Havre.
Rennes will look to keep the juggernaut rolling as they turn their attention to the Coupe de France where they kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 victory at Guingamp on January 7 thanks to a brace from Kalimuendo.
