Tip and bets
Head-to-head matches between the opponents are usually fun to watch. Visitors need a victory for the morale boost, but southerners are more successful in head-to-heads - Paladins are not feeling themselves comfortable at Velodrome. We are not expecting a sensation today, hosts should be able to get a comfortable victory due to their class and experience.

We are expecting a total domination from Marseille, they usually play aggressively at home ground and they also won 3 out of 5 most recent head-to-head matches. We are not expecting a blowout, but Provencals should be able to get a victory by a comfortable margin of two goals.
Our second bet is on Marseille to win by two goals
