Marseille will host Le Havre on October 25 as part of the eighth round of Ligue 1. Marseille performed poorly in the Europa League last week, but they are on a winning streak in the championship. The visitors have not won a single championship and are the worst club in France. Will the Provencals be able to defeat the opponent and what bets should you pay attention to in the match? You will find the answer in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Marseille
Current form
Marseille played against Sturm in Austria last week and was defeated in the Europa League again. The Provencals lost with a score of 0:1, conceding the only goal in the 13th minute of the meeting. Previously, the team could not beat Olympiacos on its own field and has not yet won in European competitions and occupies 34th place in the standings with zero points in the asset and scored only one goal.
Bruno Genesio's wards are starting to gain momentum in the domestic championship and have won in two rounds in a row. In the last meeting, Marseille defeated Angers on the road (5:2), scoring two goals in the first and three in the second half. At this stage, the Southerners have nine points in the asset, occupy the intermediate 10th place in the standings and continue to fight for a place in the top 6.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cornelius and Heiberg will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
In the last five face-to-face matches, the Provencals have beaten Le Havre.
Marseille have scored 11 goals in their last two games.
The approximate line-up: De Lange –Weah, Egan-Riley, Ager, Emerson–Abdelli, Nnadi–Arith, Gomez, Paixao –Guiri.
Le Havre
Current form
The club from Le Havre cannot get out of the crisis and continues to occupy a place in the basement of the standings. Since the start of the championship, the heavenly ones have not won a single victory, suffered five defeats, and only drew two matches. It will be difficult to fight for a place in the elite, and it is not possible to regain the five-point gap.
Didier Digard's men couldn't beat Auxerre on home turf in the last round, but they scored one goal in the second half to score 1-3. Le Havre had previously lost 0-1 to Lille, and if the coaching staff didn't get their players playing better, they wouldn't be able to get out of last place.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Mpasi-Nzo, Zagadu, Mambimbi, Pembele and Jelert will miss the game.
Interesting betting trends
Le Havre has failed to score in the first half in five consecutive games
The Sky team has received an average of one yellow card in the last five matches
Approximate composition: Gallon – Uziad, Sasso, Tuba, M. Ndiaye – Ebonog, R. Ndiaye, Richardson – Nakamura, Maja, Samatta.
Surely the Provencals will try to get the much-needed three points that will allow them to join the fight for a place in the top 6. Marseille has a great chance of winning, given that they have been stronger than Le Havre at the Velodrome in the last five games. It is also worth noting that the Southerners are doing a good job of dealing with rivals from the bottom of the standings – the recent victory over Angers (5:2).
Le Havre is in crisis, has no victories behind them, is the worst team in the French championship and will not be able to show high-quality football. A good option would be to place a bet on the victory of the white and blue with a difference of several goals.
Prediction – Marseille wins with an Asian handicap (-1) with a coefficient of 1.85
Since the start of the season, it has been difficult for Le Havre to compete with more experienced opponents. Marseille, after the failure in the Europa League, will escalate the situation and constantly attack. In the last full-time game, the teams staged a scoring extravaganza, scoring eight goals for two. Given the good attacking line of the blue and white, it can be assumed that there will be a lot of goals in Marseille.
The betting tip is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.30
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
The home team has no room for error, and today they will put the Ligue 1 outsider to the test. Given the large difference in class and the eight-goal face-to-face match in Marseille, we can assume that it will not be difficult for the Provencals to win by three or more goals, and we will bet on that.
The betting tip is a victory for any of the teams by three or more goals with a coefficient of 3.60
