Marseille meet at its stadium the team of Saint-Etienne hoping to improve their performance in their home matches and not fall behind the main pretendets for the title - Lyon and PSG. Possible loss of points in this game can get Marseille, who are currently third in the league, away from the leaders.
Saint Etienne team is a hard and tough guest, very constant in their away matches. 5 out of their last 6 away games have ended in a tie, which indicates that the team seeks and always finds a way to steal the point. On the other hand, despite the solid defense demonstrated by the guests in this game, there are significant problems with the attack. In the last four games in the French Ligue 1 the team has scored no single goal!
Marseille coach Elie Baup has no squad problems and will be able to choose from all available players. The same, however, does not apply to team of St Etienne, who has long been suffering from injuries to several key players. Most noticeable will be the absence of the striker Brandao and prospects for breaking the trend of games with few or no goals scored again are not good.
In terms of statistics, Marseille are unbeaten in their last 10 home games against St Etienne. Forebet algorithm correctly considered this and has given equal chances for a home win and a draw - around 42% and very small chances for the guests.
We expect the final match of the first season of the French Ligue 1 to be open and exciting to watch match with many scoring opportunities that would tip the scales in favor of the hosts and the result of a draw.
