Saint-Etienne vs. Marseille: French Championship Match Forecast
The 14th round of the French Ligue 1 will be closed on December 8 by the confrontation between Saint-Etienne and Marseille. The hosts are a huge underdog in the match. Will they be able to refute this assumption and fight for points? You will find the answer and trending bets in the forecast.
Command Analysis
Saint-Etienne
FranceCurrent form
Saint-Etienne never ceases to amaze. Sometimes they resist Lyon on the road and lose with a minimal score of 0:1, sometimes they suffer disaster from a team that is not even in the top 10 - Reims (0:5). At the moment, the team with 13 points scored is in 15th place in the ranking, having 13 points in their piggy bank. They are only one point ahead of a team from the play-off zone and two points ahead of a team from the relegation zone, so in terms of play, they clearly need to improve.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nade, Auld, Briançon, Macon and Moncondois will be unable to help the team due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Saint-Etienne have won their last two matches at home
- For five matches in a row, the team has alternated victories and defeats
Tentative line-up: Larsonnier - Appiah, Abdelhamid, Batubinsika, Ekwa, Petro - Boakye, Mouton, Bouchoari, Davitashvili - Sissoko.
Marseille
FranceCurrent form
Marseille is one of the leaders of the French championship. In 13 rounds, it has won eight times and drawn twice, and the total score of its matches is 29:19 - this is the second result after PSG. The guests cannot afford to lose under any circumstances, because on December 7, Monaco beat Toulouse with a score of 2:0 and moved Roberto de Zerbi charges to the third line of the ranking. Only a victory will allow them to take second place again, so the players will go out to the upcoming match fully charged.
Disqualifications and injuries
Blanco, Mumbanya, Carboni, Nadir and Khaprit are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Marseille have conceded in their last five matches
- The visitors have scored in four games in a row
Probable line-up: Rulli - Murillo, Balerdi, Kondogbia, Merlin - Rabiot, Hojbjerg - Greenwood, Luis Enrique, Rowe - Maupay.

1.82Tip and bets
This season, Marseille has been more impressive than its rival, who has only recently returned to the French top flight. Marseille is fighting for second place in the standings, and it is unlikely that the team plans to drop points against a rival like Saint-Etienne, who is fighting for survival. We are betting on a clear victory for the stronger team.
Our prediction is a victory for Marseille with odds of 1.62
Bet on total
Saint-Etienne have scored in their last four home games, while Marseille have scored in the same number of games. Plus, in the last three head-to-head encounters, there were no zeros on the scoreboard after the final whistle. Given these indicators, we will bet on both teams to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.77
Bet on corners
Saint-Etienne does not play closed football on its home field, and Marseille a priori prefers an open style of play, so we expect a lot of over-all goals in this match, and corner kicks are no exception.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.78
