Marseille vs Paris FC Predictions

• Marseille beat Strasbourg 4-0 at home in their season opener
• Paris FC have just one win in their last nine competitive away games
• L’OM won 5-2 when these sides met at this venue last season

Home comforts key for L’OM

Marseille slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Monaco in the last round of fixtures and will be looking to bounce back when Paris FC visit the Velodrome on Sunday.

The visitors are unbeaten under new boss Liam Rosenior with four points to show from two games and they eased to a 3-0 win over Nice last time out.

On the balance of play, L’OM were perhaps unlucky not to get anything from the game at the Stade Louis II and with home advantage they should be too strong for Les Parisiens.

Marseille opened the season with a 4-0 win over a good Strasbourg outfit at this venue and Paris FC tend to struggle on their travels. Paris FC won just four of their 17 trips last season and were held to a 0-0 draw at promoted Troyes in their only trip this term, while they have won just one of their last 11 competitive away games.

Marseille were excellent at home in Ligue 1 with 11 wins in their 17 games and the early signs suggest this ground could be a stronghold for Les Phoceens once again under new coach Bruno Genesio, and they look good value for a win over Paris FC.

A home win offers enough value but it is also worth considering backing Marseille to win and concede. Paris FC scored 20 goals in their 17 away games last season and struck four times across their two meetings with Marseille, while L’OM conceded on average just over a goal per game at home. That thinking is reflected in a correct score prediction of a 3-1 win for the hosts, with Marseille having scored at least three goals in each of their last three home Ligue 1 victories.

Amine Gouiri scored two of Marseille’s four goals against RCS and will be on spot kick duties on Sunday. The Algerian looks the standout candidate for an anytime goal against Paris FC.
