Match Preview
Olympique Marseille hosts Le Havre at Stade Vélodrome on Sunday, 19 October, in a Ligue 1 clash that promises to be intriguing given both teams' recent form. Marseille has shown resilience with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches, while Le Havre's form has been a bit more inconsistent, managing two wins but also suffering two losses. Historically, Marseille has had the upper hand in their last ten encounters, winning five and drawing none, highlighting their dominance in this fixture.
One key angle to consider is Marseille's home advantage, where they have been particularly strong. With six of their last ten meetings resulting in over 2.5 goals, it suggests a propensity for high-scoring games when these teams meet. Additionally, both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence, making a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) a compelling option. As Marseille looks to solidify their position in the league, they will be keen to exploit Le Havre's weaknesses and maintain their strong home record.
