Tip and bets
In our opinion, a favourite is obvious here. Marseille secured a 2nd-place finish in the previous season. Team is in a great form now, while Clermont have already suffered two defeats. Visitors are unlikely to get any points here.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Marseille
We also don't think that Clermont will score in this match. Marseille will try to get the three points here and they should be able to leave the opponent without a chance to score. The White-Blues are fighting for the top spot, so they are unlikely to drop points here.
Our second bet is on at least one club to not score
