Team News
Marseille: Preparing the prediction for Marseille, we will take into account the following details: Igor Tudor's protégés have not played a single match this season (three wins and one draw). Such indicators allow the team to be located on the second line of the rating, conceding the leadership of PSG only in additional indicators. Naturally, the hosts' plans for the upcoming match do not include losing points in a game with such an opponent as Clermont.
Clermont Foot: When making a prediction for Clermont, many factors need to be taken into account. For the four matches played, the team has two defeats and two wins. As a result: the ninth place in the standings. The team concedes 1.5 times more than it scores. If this indicator cannot be corrected, then it will be extremely difficult to achieve a rise in the rating.
Head to Head
- Marseille have two wins from their last three games against Clermont.
- Marseille are the only Ligue 1 team to score the opener in all four league games this season.
- Clermont have the second worst away form in the league this year (ahead of Montpellier) - losing 13 games on the road.
- Both league games involving the two teams last season saw one side fail to find the back of the net.
- Marseille have won six of their last seven games at the Stade Velodrome, losing one (incidentally to Clermont in February).
- The hosts will look to avoid losing their first two top-flight games against a single team in Ligue 1 history.
Prediction: Marseille are strong favourites, and their strong home record means they should claim a comfortable victory. They will, however, be wary of the last time when Clermont visited them.
Score Prediction: Olympique Marseille 2 - 0 Clermont Foot
