Marseille vs Brest Predictions

OM should cruise to victory

Marseille have scored three goals or more in four of their 11 Ligue 1 games this season, and over 3.5 goals is the recommended bet when they host Brest at Stade Velodrome on Saturday.

They are second in Ligue 1, having won seven of their 11 games this season, while Brest are 13th with just two wins. Marseille are 11 places above Brest and have 12 points more than their visitors.

Marseille were 1-0 winners against Auxerre last weekend and have won 12 of their last 15 home games in the league. Brest, on the other hand, have gone five games without winning.

There have been four goals or more in four of Marseille’s five Ligue 1 home games this season, with eight of the last nine going over 3.5 goals.

Both teams have been struggling at the back. Marseille have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six Ligue 1 games, while Brest have conceded 18 goals this season – an average of 1.64 per game from 11 matches.

A 3-1 home win for Marseille is an appealing correct-score bet. Nine of the last 11 Ligue 1 meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net, and Marseille have been two-goal winners in three of the last four head-to-heads.
