Amiens vs Marseille Prediction & Betting tips
Since Amiens promoted to Ligue 1 two years ago, the team from Northern France lost all four league games against Olympique Marseille. Will this trend continue Friday night?
Amiens:
Amiens went through a disappointing week last week with only one point in the games against Girondins de Bordeaux and Angers. In both games, Luka Elsner’s team quickly took the lead through Stiven Mendoza, who had returned from an injury, but in both games it was only one goal for Les Licornes. Playing football this season is still not good enough in most games what the team of Luka Elsner shows, so that the team is mainly dependent on individual excesses and mistakes of the opponents.
With the return of Stiven Mendoza to the base, the team has another trump card in the offensive area. The Colombian striker managed to make little impression in Ligue 1 last season with two goals in 25 games, but the Colombian already managed to score twice in two games this year. Opposite the return of Mendoza, however, there are defensive problems for Elsner with regard to his right flank, because presumably both Prince-Désir Gouano and Christophe Jallet cannot be deployed on Friday evening.
Olympique Marseille:
Olympique Marseille only lost one game this season, the season opener against Stade Reims, but managed to win only three times in the other seven league games. After the international match, AS Monaco won 4-3, but in the last three games against Montpellier, Dijon and Stade Rennais, a draw was played. Moreover, the team of André Villas-Boas was not in the lead for a single moment in the last three minutes, but nevertheless the Marzians are in a neat fifth place with only three points behind in second and third place.
Against Amiens, Villas-Boas still cannot have star attackers Florian Thauvin and Dmitri Payet. The former will not be able to play for the Marseilles this calendar year due to a dragging injury and the latter will be playing the third of a total of four matches of his suspension against Amiens due to the calling of a referee. With that stupid action, Payet put his team at a considerable disadvantage, because with an average of one goal or assist per three games, the attacker is in principle a fixed value at the Marzilans.
