Marseille vs Gazelec Ajaccio Betting Tips

A terrific away win in Europa League action saw Marseille qualify for the Last 32 of Europa League in midweek action. Marseille now haven’t lost a game of football in any competition since November 8. They’re a member of the cluster of French sides that are finally moving up the table, they enter the weekend’s action in 10th place.

Last weekend, they played a lively and active game of football drawing 2-2 with Montpellier. Prior to that, they had picked up a 1-0 away win against Rennes.

On Sunday, it’ll be Gazelec Ajaccio on the table. After a pretty poor start to the season, Gazelec Ajaccio have put together a seven-game unbeaten run beating Bordeaux, Nice, Stade Reims, Bastia and Montpellier along the way. The poor nature of their start means that they are still only 15th in the table, but they’ve found a way to play a good brand of football and pick up regular points.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Great odds

GFC Ajaccio and Marseille both concede more than one goal per game, both are known for their fragility on the back-end and we’re getting the BTTS odds at better than even. It’s a must.

2. Gazalec Ajaccio can score

It should be noted that the one-time relegation favourites have proven that they can score goals. They’ve scored 14 times in their last seven games and they won’t be intimidated by this Marseille side.

3. Marseille defence

Always a concern, even in their brilliant midweek performance, there were signs of that lack of structure and fragility. Michel has rectified some of those problems and this is a team that in many ways plays differently than last season’s gun-ho crew. Still, tough to see Marseille keeping a clean sheet.
