Our Predictions
Marseille should dominate at home, and with both teams scoring in recent games, this looks like a high-scoring win for the hosts. Odds suggest a solid chance for Marseille, and the attack-minded nature of both squads supports the BTS and over 2.5 goals scenario.
Lorient’s recent form indicates they can trouble Marseille on the counter. A draw is plausible here, especially if Lorient’s attack keeps up its recent form, and both sides score in what might be a tense, open game.
Lorient's big away win shows they can hit hard on the counter. If Marseille pushes high, Lorient may capitalize, especially with their recent attacking flair, making the away win another feasible outcome with both teams scoring.
