Marseille vs Troyes Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th April 2023

Marseille take on Troyes for a match in the Ligue 1 this coming Sunday at Stade Orange Velodrome.

Marseille approach round 31 as number three in the Ligue 1 table with 61 points on their account so far. With 30 rounds behind them, Troyes have amassed 21 points, placing them as number 18 in the standings.

Troyes are hugely favoured to knock out Marseille from this competition. The latter will obviously put up a fight on Sunday but an away win still seem the most likely scenario.

Marseille only average a modest 1.4 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 14 goals. They also conceded 12 for an average of 1.2 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Troyes average 0.7 goals a game in their last ten outing, scoring a total of seven goals. They conceded an average of 2.3 per game, for a total of 23 goals, whilst keeping their opponents from scoring zero times.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Marseille came away as 0-2 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome on Sunday.

Marseille vs Troyes Prediction

Marseille Form

The Marseille team look in good shape before their match against Troyes, as they seek to remain unbeaten. Firstly, they beat Reims 1-2, then they held Montpellier to a 1-1 draw. Their last outing resulted in a hard fought 0-0 draw Lorient. Marseille only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Stade Orange Velodrome in the Ligue 1. They also drew three and lost two of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded 11 goals.

Troyes Form

Troyes got away with only one point from their previous three games, and they claimed it in a 2-2 draw with Brest. Then Auxerre proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat, just like Clermont Foot who won 0-2. Troyes are winless in their last six away games in the Ligue 1, in which they drew zero and lost six. They conceded 18 goals while scoring three themselves.

Both Marseille and visitors Troyes seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.

Marseille scored 32 goals and conceded 13 in their last 15 games against teams from the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table. They collected 34 points and ten victories. Troyes fought their way to one win and six points from their last eight games against teams inside the top six. They were on target 12 times in these matches, but also let in 18 goals. Marseille have a record of 18 wins, seven draws and five defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Troyes are looking at four wins, nine draws and 17 defeats in the Ligue 1.
