Marseille, under the tutelage of coach Gennaro Gattuso, has shown extraordinary performance. Of the last 9 matches in all competitions, they only lost 1, drew 2, and won 6. Their performance in Ligue 1 looks very good, they are unbeaten in the last 6 matches, with 4 wins and 2 draws.
This performance has helped Marseille improve their ranking in the standings, climbing to 6th place with 27 points, 1 point behind Lille OSC. Apart from that, they have also played very well at home this season, picking up 20 points from 8 matches (6 wins, 2 draws). Along with Nice, they are the only two teams yet to lose at home in Ligue 1 2023/24.
Marseille are only 1 and 2 points behind Nice and PSG in terms of home form, but they have played one game less. If calculated in all competitions this season, the team led by coach Gattuso is unbeaten at the Velodrome, with 9 wins and 2 draws.
Looking at the results of the previous meeting, Marseille have shown their dominance over Strasbourg. In the last 14 meetings at the Velodrome, they are unbeaten, including 5 draws and 9 wins. In Ligue 1, Marseille won 9, drew 2 in the last 11 meetings against Strasbourg at home.
Regarding team strength, the latest news is that Marseille will lose a number of players in the next month, including Simon Ngapandouetnbu, Chancel Mbemba, Azzedine Ounahi, Amine Harit, Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr due to playing in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Strasbourg’s Patrick Vieira will also be missing the services of Karol Fila, Thomas Delaine, Lebo Mothiba and Gerzino Nyamsi due to injury. Saidou Sow also returns to participate in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with the Guinea National Team.
Based on all the facts above, several predictions on the internet say Marseille has the chance to win. The reason is because Marseille, with their strong home form, will try to achieve victory against Strasbourg.
However, Strasbourg also has a record of 5 matches without defeat, including 4 wins and 1 draw. Despite their impressive performance, the team led by coach Patrick Vieira will find it difficult to create a surprise against Marseille in the first match of the 18th round of Ligue 1 2023/24.
