Rennes-Marseille advanced?

According to La Provence, Olympique de Marseille have requested that their trip to Rennes, scheduled for the week-end of 12th and 13th March, was advanced to Friday, March 11th.

Marseille will travel to England on Tuesday, March 15th to take on Manchester United in the Champions League Last 16 return game. An advanced schedule would therefore give Marseille more time to prepare their European game.

In Rennes, a change of date is not expected to cause any issue. The previous game, in Montpellier, is scheduled for the week-end of March 5th and 6th, and no Coupe de France game is to be scheduled between those two games.
