Strasbourg vs Olympique Marseille Prediction: No reason to trust either side!

Strasbourg and Marseille are both struggling for consistent form in the league after they suffered poor results in the games leading to this game. The tension is building around both clubs, especially for Marseille who are the bigger club.

 Olympique Marseille travel to the Stade de la Meinau for the 13th game of the season with a bid to turn their fortunes around. They have failed to win their last 3 league matches in a row. Strasbourg are in a tougher position after failing to win their last 5 league matches in a row. Which of these teams will break off the poor streak and get back on track?

Strasbourg

Strasbourg is desperate to find a win in this match against an also-desperate Olympique Marseille side. Strasbourg have failed to win any of their last league matches. They lost 3 in a row against Lens, Nantes, and PSG, before playing 2 draws against Rennes and Clermont Foot. Their most recent game was against Clermont and they played 0-0 at home.

 Strasbourg now occupies 15th place on the league table with 12 points and a goal difference of -6. They have recorded 3 wins, 3 draws, and 5 defeats so far in 11 matches this season.

 There was nothing to separate Strasbourg and Marseille in their last 2 meetings against each other. They played a 2-2 draw the last time Marseille visited the Stade de la Meinau back in October last year.

Olympique Marseille

Olympique Marseille fans are hoping their recent predicament is only temporary. Marseille has been on a poor run for some time in the league, winning only 1 of their last 8 league matches in a row. They are also without a win in their last 3 matches in a row.

 At the moment they remain 10th on the log with 13 points and a goal difference of -1 goal. They have recorded 3 wins, 4 draws, and 4 defeats in 11 matches this season.

 Olympique Marseille ended their last match in a defeat against RC Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Delellis. Jonathan Gradit scored the only goal in the 90th minute to separate both sides and send Marseille to a defeat.

 Olympique Marseille are desperate to get a better result in this fixture after failing to win against Strasbourg twice last season.
