Marseille will look to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they host Auxerre at the Stade Orange Vélodrome on Sunday.
The home team are in second place with 67 points, eight behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, the visitors are struggling to survive the relegation zone by only one point ahead of the 18th-placed team.
Marseille has been in good form recently, unbeaten in the last seven league matches. They also beat Auxerre 2-0 in the first meeting of the season in September.
Alexis Sánchez and Gerson were on the scoresheet for les Phocéens. The former Arsenal player has also been a key player for Marseille this season scoring 12 goals, including the opening three goals.
However, Marseille cannot be complacent because Auxerre is also showing fierce resistance. They are unbeaten in their last four league games, including a 1-1 draw against top four Lille. Auxerre also have a dangerous attacking trio in M’Baye Niang, Nuno da Costa and Jubal, who have scored 13 goals together.
Marseille have the advantage at home, picking up 28 points from 16 league games at the Stade Orange Vélodrome this season. They are also unbeaten in the last three home matches. However, they must improve their defense which often conceded goals at home. Six of their eight home wins have not kept a clean sheet.
Auxerre will try to break their bad trend away from home. They have not won in their last eight away games against teams that are ninth or higher. They also conceded 24 goals and scored just six goals in that span.
Several soccer sites predict that Marseille will play confidently and aggressively to win an important victory in this match. They have a better attack power than Auxerre and can rely on Sánchez to score goals.
While Auxerre will look to put up a fight with high morale, they are likely to fall short in terms of quality and experience. Final score: Marseille 3-1 Auxerre.
