Strasbourg vs Marseille
France – Ligue 1
Date: Friday, November 6, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg).

Friday night's game in Ligue 1 looks difficult on paper for Strasbourg, who come into this match in 19th place. Of the 9 games played so far, the club have lost 7 of them, although they have one victory for them. I would get out of the drop zone.

Last weekend, Strasbourg lost 2-1 at Reims, another club that has struggled this season, and it was a regrettable defeat, as Strasbourg entered this game after beating Brest 3-0. You might have thought that the club had arrived at a new chapter, but it wasn't despite the fact that the club had plenty of opportunities and generally played well.

Marseille's match against Lens was suspended at the last minute last weekend as so many Lens players fell ill with the Coronavirus that it was impossible to play the match at the Stade Velodrome. But L'OM could not rest as they played midweek in the Champions League. Lost away to Porto 3-0 and it looks like the club will exit the competition in the group stage, having also lost the first home game of the season to Manchester City by the same result.

Obviously in Europe this has been a disappointment for Marseille who would have liked to have made an impact this season having seen PSG and Lyon perform well last season.

Strasbourg vs Marseille: head-to-head

Strasbourg vs Marseille: Preview

Marseille are in good form in the league, as they have won their last 2 games in a row and are undefeated for 5 games, taking 9 points from 15 games available.

On the road, Marseille are undefeated this season, winning three and drawing once, making them a dangerous team.

Strasbourg have, of course, managed to rest this week, while Marseille were in Portugal on Tuesday, which could mean they are more tired than their hosts. We expect a good game, but Strasbourg can take advantage of Marseille having to travel; ideally, this match would have been more suitable for Marseille if it had been played on Saturday.

Strasbourg vs Marseille: betting tips:

• Handicap: Strasbourg +1 to 1,50 (1/2)
