Command Analysis
Marseille
FranceCurrent form
In the last round, Marseille won a convincing victory over Montpellier with a score of 5:0. This victory was the biggest for the club in the last two years. In eight matches played this season, the hosts of the upcoming match have won five times, drawn twice and suffered one defeat. With 17 points scored, they are in third place in the standings, lagging behind the leaders PSG and Monaco by only three points.
The home game cannot be called ideal. There are no defeats, but the draws with Reims and especially with Angers indicate that Roberto de Zerbi charges have room to improve and something to pay attention to. If they drew with such opponents, then it will be problematic to take even one point from the formidable PSG.
Disqualifications and injuries
Blanco, Mumbanya, Merlin, Carboni and Nadir are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Marseille have not lost at home this season
- The hosts have failed to score in only one of their last ten matches.

The visitors, along with Monaco and Lens, remain one of three teams in the championship that have not yet lost.

1.77Tip and bets
The most productive teams of Ligue 1 will meet. They focus on attacking actions, and the game in defense fades into the background. Marseille did not score against PSG in the last three face-to-face confrontations, but at the moment the Parisians are clearly not at the peak of their form. That is why we are inclined to believe that both teams will be able to distinguish themselves in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.55
Bet on the outcome
In the last round, Marseille failed to beat Angers (1:1) on their home field, although the Provencals were playing with an advantage from the 29th minute. This result suggests that the hosts will not be able to put up a decent fight against the current champion of the country and will suffer their first fiasco in front of local fans this season.
Our prediction is PSG victory with odds of 1.78
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is not difficult to guess that the game should be abundant in various over totals. We believe that corner flag deliveries also belong to them. We will make another bet on this event.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.60
