On Tuesday-evening, Olympique Marseille and Girondins de Bordeaux meet each other in a make-up game of the eighteenth round. Both teams lost their last two games with one goal difference and experienced a dramatic season. Are there signs of recovery for one of the two teams on Tuesday-evening?
Olympique Marseille:
Like a week earlier against Lille, Olympique Marseille only scored a 2-0 deficit last weekend and again the goal of the Marseilles was too late. Without star players Florian Thauvin and Dimitri Payet and with a not yet complete match Mario Balotelli in the striker, Rudi Garcia’s team had few chances in the first half, making the situation for the Marseilles and especially their coach becoming more and more acute. is. The ex-coach of AS Roma does not get his team playing at the moment as he intended and as a result, the Marseilles people have descended to the tenth place with twelve points behind the number three, Olympique Lyonnais.
Offensively, in the last weeks, it has been a matter of gloom and grief among the Marseilles, who did not score more than once in their nine last official matches and only managed to win once. Defensively, it is also dramatic what the team shows with at least one goal in nine of the last ten games. Only four teams got more disappointing this season than the Marseilles riders who still remarkably excel in possession of the ball (average 54%) this season.
Girondins de Bordeaux:
Girondins de Bordeaux would compete last weekend against the last team and Avant Guingamp, but due to ongoing public unrest in France, this competition of the Girondijnen was also moved. Eric Bédouet will not have been too sorry for this, as in the last two matches, the team is twice the worst against RC Strasbourg. The disappointing Girondins de Bordeaux this season no longer has any chance of winning a prize this season and also the placement for European football seems to have become an almost impossible task, so this season may be considered as lost.
Like the Marseilles, the Girondins do not have their defense in order. In the seven official matches in 2019, only two times the zero was held and there was also only scored seven times in these games. In the recent history, the Bédouet team on a visit to Marseille defensively got things in order with only one goal in the last three matches, but there were no goals. To make matters worse, the selection of the Girondins in the offensive area has not become stronger this season.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1.76
