Marseille vs Slovan Liberec Betting Tips

Marseille are a difficult team to construct betting tips for. They have been all season long after entering the season with a talented, but very young squad and then seeing manager Marcelo Bielsa quit after just one league game. New manager Michel has steadied the ship somewhat and Marseille have pulled off some impressive results, but a 2-1 home loss to Angers at the weekend was symbolic of a club that’s still trying to work it out.

Slovan Liberec enter possibly their toughest group game after squandering a good opportunity by losing 1-0 at home in their opening game against Sporting Braga. They suffered a significant domestic defeat last weekend and they looked a little toothless when they played Braga.

The match-up here will be between Slovan Liberec’s defensive set-up and Marseille’s attacking game. Michel has kept the positives and negatives of Marseille’s aggressive brand of football, they’ll open themselves up to Slovan Liberec’s counter attacks, but they’ll also challenge the visitors with their pace.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Marseille get it right

It’s a little bit of a guessing game when it comes to Marseille, but we think they’ll get it right at home against a defensive-minded team on Thursday night.

2. Liberec’s form hasn’t been great

The away defeat at the weekend wasn’t impressive and they didn’t look too good against Braga either. There’s still a feeling that the side from the Czech Republic will have a little more to give in the Europa League, but it won’t start on Thursday in southern France.

3. Asian Handicap suited to goals

If you like Marseille to win, then you like the possibility of them scoring plenty of goals and that makes the Asian Handicap market attractive.
