Marseille vs Guimaraes Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique Marseille has blown in the summer to the transferoffensive. The goal of the South Franceses is to finally reach the top regions of Ligue Une after years of mediocre. Quite a few were trading Marseille before the season as a secret favorite on the title – not only national, but also in the Europa League. With Dimitri Payet the lost son was already committed in the backround. In the summer, Luiz Gustavo, Konstantinos Mitroglou and Luiz Gustavo added more stars. Still, this gained quality is not consistent enough in the results. In the Europa League, the French are in second place in Group I behind RB Salzburg. On Thursday a home win against Vitoria Guimares is mandatory, if the achievement of the KO phase should not be in danger. The Stade Velodrome hosts are clearly ahead of the competition and we agree with the bookmakers’ opinion. Since betting on a pure success of Olympique are not particularly profitable, we have used as a tip a handicap. On Thursday at 7 pm, the kick-off will take place and the question will be answered as to which face Marseille is showing this time.
Marseille :
In the Ligue Une, the record is neat after nine days of play, but still expandable. 17 points are 4th and all teams except the Parisians, who are not yet to be stopped this season, are still within reach. The Nantes FC will be point-to-point with a goal ratio of 7: 6. The goal difference of Marseille is 18:15 and clearly shows the difference between the two teams, the problems and strengths of the South Francs. While the offensive has worked very well and only the top teams Paris, Monaco and Lyon have scored more goals, there are also only four clubs in the Ligue Une that conceded more contenders.
In contrast to the spectacular Ligapartien the appearances in the Europa League were rather boring. At the start, there was an unbelievable 1: 0 against the Turkish representative Konyaspor. On the second day, Rudi Garcia’s defenders lost the same result in Salzburg. Now the two duels are against Vitoria Guimares and the course for the intermediate round are already in the first game in their own stadium. Marseille finally wants to demonstrate the offensive power of the league also on the international stage, and if this succeeds, then a safe home victory is very likely.
Guimaraes :
With the entry into the Europa League, Vitoria Guimares has celebrated one of the greatest successes of the club’s history last season. It was clear that it would be difficult to repeat this great result, and so far the club is lagging behind the expectations. 9th place after eight game days and a goal ratio of 7:14 are not what you have imagined. In the league, there was a defeat against OS Belenenses, after which the team won a little self-confidence in the trophy. With 6: 1 the subclass Vasco de Gama was conquered.
After that the Portuguese had plenty of time to prepare for the duel in Marseille. If the outsider with a point after two game days still hopes to move into the knockout round, then a victory must come in France. This is a difficult task for Pedro Martin’s side in any case, as the quality of the squad is not as great as it is with homeowners. With team spirit, stamina and two-team strength, the Portuguese will try to hold against the playfully superior favorites.
