Brighton vs Marseille Predictions

• Marseille have scored 13 goals in their last four matches
• Both teams have scored in 11 of Brighton’s last 14 games
• Marseille have won three of their last 16 away matches

Seagulls prone to home draws

Brighton have already booked their next round of the Europa League but the motivation is still there for them to finish top of their group, which will be achieved if they can beat Marseille at the Amex Stadium on Thursday.

Victory would ensure they do not face one of the teams who finished third in their Champions League section in the playoff round, but while the Seagulls are unbeaten in their last seven on their own patch, they have struggled to get over the line at times.

Saturday’s 1-1 with struggling Burnley was the fourth time in that run when they have been held to a point and it would be no surprise if the teams finished level again in this one.

Repeat of Velodrome score looks possible

Marseille head to Sussex with confidence after four straight wins, but their away record has not been earth-shattering and as they are a point ahead of Roberto De Zerbi’s team, a draw would do them nicely.

However, we can anticipate them putting on a positive show as they did in France when Brighton bounce backed from two goals down to earn a point with goals from Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro.

We could be in for another entertaining spectacle between two teams it is difficult to separate, so a repeat of their 2-2 Stade Velodrome meeting would not be a shock.
