PREVIEW & PREDICTION – St Etienne vs Marseille 9/02/2018
In order to stay strong in the second place that gives direct classification to the UEFA Champions League, the cast of Olympique Marseille visits a motivated Saint-Étienne, in play to be played at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard for the day 25 of the Ligue 1 from France.
Those led by Jean-Louis Gasset have improved their performance in recent days, so come to win by 0-2 in their visit to Amiens SC adding their second consecutive victory since before they beat Caen 2-1 and with this they left behind a run of three consecutive defeats and thus climbed to the 12th place and a victory on Friday you can reach the tenth place, but the task is not easy as they face one of the best teams in Ligue 1 right now.
On the other hand, those led by Rudi García are one of the protagonists of Ligue 1, something that they did not do for a long time, so the Marseille team comes from scoring at midweek 0-9 on their visit to Bourg-en- Bresse for the second round of the Coupe de France, and with it not only added a streak of two consecutive victories but of nine games without losing taking into account all the competitions where eight of them were triumphs and thus are second in the qualifying with eleven points less than the PSG leader but the idea is to keep the second place to qualify directly to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The team’s performance away from home is good, so they won in 7 of 12 opportunities and come from scoring five goals in their last two outings.
The cast of Marseille does not know of defeats in the last nine confrontations against Saint-Étienne where five of them were triumphs, but eye with the performance in his visit to Stade Geoffroy-Guichard where they have only won one chance in the last seven visits.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.67
