Marseille vs Auxerre Prediction

Marseille Form

Marseille should be high on confidence, as their last three matches saw them gain seven points. They started off drawing 0-0 with Lorient, before beating first Troyes by 3-1, then Lyon in a 1-2 win. Marseille just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Ligue 1 matches at the Stade Orange Velodrome. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded 11 goals.

Auxerre Form

Auxerre look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last three matches saw them gaining seven points. They ran out 0-3 and 2-1 winners against AC Ajaccio and Nantes, respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Lille, who claimed a point in a 1-1 draw. Auxerre won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Ligue 1. The scoreline from these matches says seven goals conceded and eight scored.

Marseille are far too strong to let a home win slip against Auxerre, but at the same time, we don't expect the visitors to get over-run. This makes us target the home win in a match with less than three goals.

Marseille took 35 points from their last 16 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table. This amounts to ten wins after scoring 35 times and conceding 15. Auxerre claimed zero wins and two points in their last nine games against teams from the top six. They scored six times in these matches, but also conceded 24 goals. Marseille are looking at a record of 20 wins, seven draws and five defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Auxerre put eight wins, nine draws and 15 defeats on the board in the Ligue 1.
