Marseille vs Bordeaux Prediction & Betting tips
A total of 15 championships have Olympique Marseille and Girodins de Bordeaux to throw in the balance. In 2009, “Les marine et blanc” won the last title, one year later the Phocéens.
Since then, both traditional clubs had nothing to do with the race for the championship. Until the current season. Marseille and Bordeaux finished second and third in the league table after 16 games.
Although it is already five points behind leaders PSG for the Olympics, which also has a game less in the account, while the Girondins are even five points behind it. At least, however, from a return to the Champions League both teams may dream of these days.
However, at Marseille against Bordeaux, the bookmakers’ odds are clearly in the direction of the hosts, who all in all bring along the much more impressive momentum.
The Phocéens have now won five competitive games in a row, making them the main pursuers for high-flying Paris Saint-Germain. But: “Le club au scapulaire” remained unbeaten in five league games (three wins, two draws), which at Marseille Vs. Bordeaux is an important factor for the prognosis.
So much can happen in this top game, in which the table second receives the current third, making the three-way bet difficult to play. Accordingly, we at Marseille Vs. Bordeaux do not give a tip on the result, but instead put on the market “Both teams meet: yes”, which holds in our eyes the greatest value.
Marseilles:
The traditional club Olympique Marseille is still ahead of France’s current figurehead, championship leader and series champion Paris Saint-Germain. Thus, the Phocéens already have nine national championships to book. At PSG, there are only eight.
What’s more, l’OM has already won, and the Parisiens are so eager to win: the coveted hockey putty for overall victory in the UEFA Champions League. A coup that succeeded the Olympics in 1993 as the only French team ever.
However, since the last championship exactly ten years ago, the club did not have much to laugh about with the well-known motto “Droit au but”. Only in 2012/13 was l’OM at least once again runner-up. In the premier class, however, other teams have been playing for the last time – also in the current season.
Now, however, the recent series of five wins in a row, consolidating second place and even building up a five-count cushion to third place, could make the only French Champions League winner of all time into the season 2020/21 could be represented again in the most important European competition for club teams.
It is all the more important that the troupe of André Villas-Boas avoids a home defeat at any price, because this is a sort of six-point game in which l’OM can on the one hand escort Bordeaux by eight points, in which the Distance but could also shorten to two points.
Exactly this starting position should also be taken into account in Marseille against Bordeaux, because although the Phocéens are basically favored because of their strong series, it must be kept in mind that they could live significantly better overall than the guests with the draw.
Accordingly, the focus of the team, who have lost just one of the eight Ligue 1 games of the season at home, is likely to be on the defensive, which was always vulnerable in the current season. Of these, at least the 18 goals conceded in the 16 league games, which is only average.
After all: Coach André Villas-Boas has no hospital. Although Superstar Thauvin is still injured on the knee and a return of the hunted by half of Europe right wing is not yet in progress, the rest of the squad but is ready for action and strives for the sixth consecutive victory.
Bordeaux:
Actually, Girodins de Bordeaux would have every reason to be happy these days. “Le club au scapulaire” remained unbeaten in five league games in succession and climbed to third place in the current table with eleven out of 15 possible points.
During the week, the troupe of coach Paulo Sousa, who has been in office since March 2019, beat Nimes Olympique 6-0. However, no one in the team of the six-time French champion, who has been in the hands of American investors for about a year, was really pleased with the result.
Exactly this is also the point of controversy that has divided the proud club of his fans, because Girodins de Bordeaux degenerates – so at least the view of the ultra-groupings – more and more to the plastic club. To the commercial ball of the US investors.
And that was exactly what the fans, who did not celebrate the 6-0 win over Nimes Olympique, protested with a rush of supporters, which led to a 25-minute break and definitely had consequences.
Perhaps it is precisely this occupied mood, which is felt these days in the environment of those responsible, because of Marseille against Bordeaux, the odds of bookmakers but quite clearly turn towards the hosts and speak against “Les marine et blanc”.
Bitter, especially since the Girodins since the last French championship in 2009, not once were among the top four clubs in the final table to find, let alone within reach of the Champions League came.
That’s exactly what could be achieved this season, so it would be even more important for everyone to pull together.
The fact that this is at least playfully possible, is underlined by the fact that coach Paulo Sousa may be pleased that all 26 players are ready for action and currently no one is injured. A rare condition, which also holds chances of a coup in the Stade Vélodrome.
After all, “Le club au scapulaire” also held in the away table of Ligue 1 a respectable third place, has already scored twelve points in the distance and scored above all already twelve matches in foreign places – the second best league score behind Olympique Lyon.
