Looking to extend on their recent purple patch when this weekend’s Ligue 1 fixtures open up, Marseille will host Strasbourg on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, enjoying what has been an eye-catching run of form of late, Marseille have their sights set on securing themselves a European spot. In their 34 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded 15 wins, 10 draws and nine defeats, scoring 49 and conceding 42 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 55, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat sixth in the table and just a single point adrift of breaking into the European positions. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 3-1 win away at Reims, Marseille have managed to muster 10 points from their last four Ligue 1 contests. it should also be highlighted, Friday’s hosts have seen five of their last six top-flight matchups finish with over 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, continuing on what has been an extended worrying run of form, some in Strasbourg’s camp might still be looking over their shoulder at the drop zone. In their 34 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, seven draws and 17 defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 53 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 37, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 15th and holding a five-point buffer over the drop zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 defeat against Nantes on home soil, Strasbourg have failed to win any of their last three matchups and also have just a single victory in their last six attempts. However it should be highlighted, with five of their last six Ligue 1 contests finishing with over 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome this week.
