Troyes vs Marseille Predictions

• Marseille have won six of their last seven away league games.
• The visitors have won five of their last six matches against Troyes in all competitions.
• Troyes have failed to win ten of their 12 home league games.

Pressure mounting on Troyes boss

Remarkably, the bottom four sides are all on 21 points and the hosts are only outside the dropzone, and the foot of the table, on goal difference. It means every game is massive and avoiding heavy defeats will be integral. However, boss Bruno Irlès is already feeling the pressure just six games into the job, largely due to the fact that his side has conceded nine goals across their previous two league games, more than they’d shipped in the seven games prior.

Marseille suffered a disappointing loss to Clermont Foot in their last Ligue 1 outing, but they were at least able to bounce back immediately by ensuring qualification to the UEFA Europa Conference League round of 16 with a 3-0 win away to Qarabağ during the week. Now they face another newly-promoted side and it’s against these sides that they’ve often struggled, winning just 46% of their last 13 games against promoted sides.

Visitors to grind out a win

Marseille have won their last three Ligue 1 meetings with Troyes and we fancy them to edge a tight matchup on Sunday and as a result, keep third-placed Nice at bay by tightening their grip on the second spot in the table. The hosts are conceding too many goals and Marseille’s quality should shine through.
