Marseille vs Strasbourg Prediction and Betting Tips | March 12th 2023

Marseille play host to Strasbourg this Sunday in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Velodrome.

Marseille are currently in second place in the table behind champions-elect Paris St. Germain, but only four points separate them from both third-placed Monaco and fourth-placed Lens. For the most part, though, they’ve been in good form in recent weeks.

Strasbourg, meanwhile, are only separated from the relegation zone on goal difference. They have just 22 points to their name, and so with 19th-placed Troyes just two points behind them, they could easily find themselves mired in a battle against the drop in the upcoming weeks.

Marseille vs Strasbourg Prediction

Given their good performance against Rennes last weekend, Marseille will likely come into this game with plenty of confidence. They have lost twice in their last five games, but both losses came to stronger sides than Strasbourg.

The away side, meanwhile, suffered one of their worst defeats in recent games last weekend against fellow strugglers Brest, and that loss is likely to have greatly knocked their self-belief.

Strasbourg have not been leaking too many goals recently, so don’t expect a heavy win for Marseille, but the home side should be able to come out on top regardless.

Prediction: Marseille 2-0 Strasbourg
