League : French Division 1
FREAKTIPS PREVIEW
Two of the former big guns in the French League. An interesting statistic about this match is that Marseille has never registered a win at Bordeaux for over 30 years.
That aside, Marseille's Europe inspiration were crushed by the Reds last Wednesday, and the scoreline clearly showed that Marseille is a club facing a major dip in form currently. Sitting at the 15th position in the French League is not helping the team much in terms of challenging for Europe next season. I do not expect Marseille to bounce back immediately from the 4-0 thrashing inflicted by Liverpool just a few days ago. Not in this game against arch rival Bordeaux who is playing at home.
Bordeaux on the other hand is still in good position to aim for UEFA or even a Champions League appearance next season. They have got to start winning games, especially league games played at home ground.
Reviews from Soccernet seems to hint on Marseille players and coach intending to hold Bordeaux to a draw at home and go for the win against Le Mans in the next game. With the AH offered at -0.5, it would be tempting to eat Marseille and hope the match would end in a draw of a win for Marseille.
Likely a defensive game from Marseille, with Bordeaux applying the majority of the pressure in this game. Odds monitoring at the time of writing this review favors me on Bordeaux -0.5. I shall stick with that and hope to see a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline in favor of Bordeaux.
VERDICT : BORDEAUX -0.5 FT (3 STAR), BORDEAUX DRAW (FUN BET)
