Strasbourg vs Marseille Prediction & Betting Tips (29 September)

Passed under the American flag more than a year ago, Strasbourg did not really convince last season, finishing in 13th position in the ranking with around ten points ahead of the red zone. This summer, Racing carried out a new rather ambitious transfer window and recruited Liam Rosenior on the bench who has made his team play rather well so far despite results not yet meeting expectations. Winners of Rennes 3-1, the Alsatians were then overthrown by OL 4-3 before continuing with 2 new rather poorly paid draws conceded against Angers 1-1 and Lille 3-3 during matches where they shown rather to their advantage. What if it was the year of Olympique de Marseille? After a particularly disappointing last season, the Marseille club started a new cycle by attracting Roberto de Zerbi to its bench and achieving a very interesting transfer window. And the results did not take long to follow since the residents of the Vélodrome took 13 points out of 15 possible since the resumption.

Only hung at home by Reims 2-2, they then won 2 convincing successes against Toulouse 1-3 and Nice 2-0 before achieving a big blow in Lyon last Sunday. Quickly reduced to 10, the Marseillais were still able to snatch victory at Groupama Stadium at the very end of added time despite a Lyon equalizer occurring a few seconds earlier 2-3. In the ranking, they have the same number of points as the Parisian leader.

For Strasbourg, last year's starting goalkeeper Belaarouche, full-back Delaine, striker Sahi Dion (3 goals last season) and young Lukovic (18 years old) will not be able to respond favorably to the invitation from their coach. Additionally, summer recruit Wiley is also too fair for this poster. Up front, the young Dutchman Emegha is starting the season strong with already 3 goals to his name after finding the fault last week. It is the same for the Swedish recruit Nanasi who also planted his 3rd pawn of the season against Losc last Saturday. OM will travel to Meinau without replacement goalkeeper Ruben Blanco, full-back Merlin and striker Moumbagna who are injured. Central defender Cornelius will no longer be suspended.

A timely return since it will be Balerdi's turn to have to serve his suspension after he was sent off last Sunday. The former Mbemba executive is still sidelined while the New arrival Rabiot is hoped for this poster. With 5 goals to his personal tally, Greenwood still remains the top scorer of this team ahead of the Brazilian Luis Henrique and his 3 goals. Rookie Neal Maupay and former Lensois Wahi should compete for the center forward place which should go to the first city.
