Marseille vs Auxerre Prediction & Betting Tips (8 November)

Olympique de Marseille moved to second in the standings after their victory in Nantes on Sunday 1-2. The Olympians thus overtook Monaco and were relegated to six points behind PSG, at the top of the standings. Their success in Nantes came at just the right time after a home debacle against their Parisian rival 0-3. OM has been on alternating current for more than a month. Before the international break, he will want to start a series of victories. The last one dates back to September. Too long a wait for a club as ambitious as Marseille, which above all has time to prepare its matches well since it is not playing in a European competition this season.

 Auxerre, for its part, comes to the Vélodrome stadium with the ambition of extending its series of three matches without defeat. The promoted side dominated Reims 2-1 on home soil, took a point from Lyon 2-2 and finally humiliated Stade Rennais 4-0, candidate for Europe. This last result marks the very good momentum of Auxerre. The Burgundian club progressed to 10th position in the ranking. With thirteen points, Christophe Pélissier's players are ahead of the virtual play-off, Saint-Etienne, by three lengths.  

Marseille have found the net in every single one of their last 21 home fixtures in the Ligue 1, though the fact that they have also conceded in 18 of these contests has to be a worry. As for Auxerre, they had both scored and conceded in eight of their last 13 games at this level.
