Marseille vs Bordeaux
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Venue: Velodrome Stadium (Marseille).

Saturday night's game will take place between Marseille and Bordeaux and the home team will be favorites to win the match.

Marseille, however, had a troubled start to the season and came into this game without a win in the last 4 games. Their last win was a rare victory over PSG in September and drew their last three games in a row.

However, the last game was a respectable 1-1 draw with Lyon, but the club lost points against opponents they should have overcome, including Metz and Lille.

Despite not being the ideal start for Marseille, they still have 9 points and could move into the top six with a weekend win. Although so far it has not managed to win a home game.

Bordeaux started exactly the same way as Marseille and are only above them in the league on goal difference.

The club's still recent form has been better than that of Marseille and they have only lost once in their last four matches. Moreover, the last game ended with a 3-0 victory over Dijon.

Bordeaux have been most impressive this season in defence, and they have only conceded 2 goals so far. Only Lille can match them for that.

Marseille vs Bordeaux: head-to-head

Marseille vs Bordeaux: Preview

Marseille need to have taken advantage of the international break in their favor and try to get back on track. Bordeaux have a bad record here and we don't expect them to win, but a draw would be the danger if we support them at home. But let's take that risk and go for Marseille and the decent odds.

Dario Benedetto has been working a lot in practice lately and we'll back him up with good chances to score at any time. We will also come back with less than 3 goals because the statistics are very convincing. With these teams so close in the championship, we could expect a cautious game.

Marseille v Bordeaux betting tips:

• Marseille beat Bordeaux at 2,00 (1/1)

• Top scorer at any time: Dario Benedetto of Marseille at 2,50 (6/4).
