Strasbourg vs Marseille Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Phocaeans are in red-hot form this season.

Strasbourg have started the new season in mixed form gathering six points from the opening five matches. While they have impressed with their attacking play this season, it is their defence that has laid them down in the opening matches. 

Liam Rosenior who was appointed this summer to guide the team has done a good job thus far. However, the team will have to improve the defence to finish higher this campaign. 

Marseille have started the new season in remarkable form. Les Minots have looked impressive under the management of Roberto De Zerbi who has implemented his attacking style of play. It has been a positive start for him. The coach will be pleased with how things have gone his way. 

The team looks particularly strong this season after making some excellent additions who have raised the level of the team. Their 3-2 win over Lyon was the highlight of the season thus far and needs to be given the credit for pulling this epic win despite playing with ten men for most of the game.

Players to Watch

Andrey Santos (⁠Strasbourg)

Andrey Santos has been in magnificent form for Strasbourg after securing a season-long loan move from Chelsea. The Brazilian international has thrived in the middle of the park transitioning himself from defence to attack excellently. This season, he has already scored three goals from four matches and was deservedly awarded the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Month. His impact in both halves is nothing short of sensational. 

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)

Mason Greenwood has been in red-hot form for Roberto De Zerbi’s side this season. The former Manchester United player has adapted to his new surroundings impressively and is currently the top scorer in the competition with five goals. After suffering from a difficult time in recent years, he has finally found a new home where everyone has backed him from day one.

This has helped him to thrive in his new surroundings. Hopefully, Greenwood continues his dream run here also.
