After suffering a loss in their previous game against Brest in Ligue 1 action, Strasbourg and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Strasbourg managed 62% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. Brest got 8 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Franck Honorat (45') scored for Brest.

The stats tell the story, and Strasbourg have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 8 goals in all. In defence, Strasbourg have been far from perfect.

🤜🤛 Head to head

A study of their past head to head meetings going back to 29/01/2020 reveals that these fixtures have been pretty painful for Strasbourg. They’ve not managed to come away with any victories at all while Marseille have been the better of the two, finishing as winners in 67% of those games played.

A combined total of 17 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 13 of them for Les Olympiens and 4 belonging to Le Racing. That is an average goals per game value of 2.83.

📰 Team News: Marseille

Samuel Gigot (Injury to the ankle) and Amine Harit (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be playing for Marseille gaffer Igor Tudor.

We think that Les Olympiens could kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system in the match with Pau Lopez, Chancel Mbemba, Leonardo Balerdi, Sead Kolasinac, Jonathan Clauss, Nuno Tavares, Valentin Rongier, Jordan Veretout, Cengiz Under, Ruslan Malinovsky and Alexis Sanchez.

ℹ️ Team News: Strasbourg

With a completely healthy squad available to choose from, the Strasbourg manager Frédéric Antonetti does not have any fitness worries whatsoever before this match.

We reckon that Le Racing will likely play in a 3-4-1-2 system by sending out Matz Sels, Colin Dagba, Gerzino Nyamsi, Alexander Djiku, Frederic Guilbert, Thomas Delaine, Morgan Sanson, Jean Aholou, Dimitri Lienard, Kevin Gameiro and H. Mouhamadou Diallo.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that Marseille will probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, Strasbourg could well struggle finding the net themselves although we do think it’s probable that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 3-1 margin for Marseille at the end of the 90 minutes.
