Strasbourg v Marseille Betting Tips [4 May 2019]
The match
With only four games to go in the Ligue 1 season, the action for the top-four spots is heating up. Ahead of this match between Strasbourg (tenth, 45 points) and Marseille (sixth, 54 points), the gap between fourth-placed Saint-Etienne and seventh-placed Nice is just three points. This gives a chance for the visitors to make up the gap and keep the pressure for a top-four finish. The hosts may not be generous, though. Although Strasbourg have lost only once in their last seven league games (W1, D5, L1), they have won just one league game since the turn of February (W1, D7, L4). The need to get back to winning ways is important to lead their way to the end of the season. Their tally of 15 draws in the season is bettered only by Reims, so a draw can’t be ruled out as a result. As far as motivation goes, the visitors have a bigger one. Five points behind top-four, there is an outside chance for Marseille to break into the European qualification places. However, they have lost three of their last six league games (W2, D1, L3) which has certainly dampened their hopes. Their away form is no solace, considering the fact that they have more than half their 17 away trips (W6, D2, L9). That is 75% of their season losses (nine of 12).
Key Statistics
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Strasbourg’s last four Ligue 1 home games.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of Marseille’s last six Ligue 1 games.
- Marseille are unbeaten in their last eight matches against Strasbourg in all competitions in regular time.
The bet of our experts
The result of this fixture may not change Strasbourg’s fortunes in the season, but their urgency to get back to winning ways could be a stumbling block for Marseille’s European ambitions. The visitors are sure to put in their best, but their away form is very poor and that could pave way to redemption for the hosts.
