Command Analysis
Marseille
FranceCurrent form
Marseille confidently holds the second position in the standings. The victories in the last two rounds have only strengthened the position in second place of the national championship, and now the closest pursuer in the person of Nice manages to be ahead by six points. On their own field, the "Provencals" do not know defeats at all in regular time for six consecutive games. Considering that the upcoming opponent is in the top three of the French Ligue 1, it is more than realistic to extend the unbeaten streak.
Frankly speaking, the hosts have a great chance to gain an even better foothold in second place, because the team will spend the next three rounds with teams from the bottom of the ranking fighting for survival. The first one is with the upcoming counterpart.
Disqualification and injury
Blanco, Mumbagna, Carboni, Harith are injured and will not play.
Interesting betting trends
- Marseille have won the last two matches
- In six of the last seven matches, the hosts have scored
The approximate line-up: Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi, Cornelius – Luis Enrique, Bennaser, Heybjerg, Merlin – Greenwood, Rabiot – Guiri.
Saint-Etienne
FranceCurrent form
Eirik Horneland did not please the fans and the club's management for long with good results. Recall that on January 1 of this year, a 49-year-old Norwegian specialist took over Saint-Etienne in order to bring it out of the crisis. In the very first match, playing as a big underdog, the team was able to defeat Reims 3-1, but that was the end of it. Currently, the Greens are going on a five—game losing streak in a row - three defeats and two draws. In the national championship, the team is in third place, but only from the end of the standings. The gap from the safe place is three points. With the game that the team is playing at the moment, it is unlikely to win back such a handicap.
Disqualification and injury
Old, Wadji, Mouffe will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Saint-Etienne cannot win five matches in a row.
- In the last ten games, the guests missed
Approximate composition: Larsonnier – Appiah, Batubincica, Nadet, Petro – Bouchouari, Equa, Mouton – Boakye, Stassen, Davitashvili.

1.45Tip and bets
With all due respect to Saint-Etienne, he is currently no match for Marseille, plus he has not been playing well in recent months and is losing points in every match. We believe that in the upcoming meeting, the guests will not be able to compete with the hosts and will suffer another fiasco, and it will not be minimal.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Marseille with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the total
Last year, the teams played each other twice, and Marseille won both matches dry. At the moment, the Greens' playing form is far from ideal, and the Provencals are playing very well on their own field. Based on this, we will bet that there will be at least one zero on the scoreboard again after the final whistle.
Our forecast is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 1.91
Betting on corners
Marseille's playing form is much cooler at the moment, so we come to the conclusion that, in addition to a confident victory, the hosts will be able to win no less confidently in terms of the number of serves from the corner flag.
Our forecast is an Asian head start (-1.5) of corners for Marseille in 1.65
