Strasbourg – Marseille

Strasbourg, sitting sixth with seven points from two wins, a draw and a loss and a narrow +1 goal difference, will host a struggling Marseille side that sit thirteenth with just three points after one victory and three defeats, their goals for and against perfectly balanced at six. The home side’s modest edge in both points and recent form suggests they will enter the encounter as slight favorites, while Marseille will be desperate to close the gap to the safety zone. Their last head‑to‑head meetings have been tightly contested, but Strasbourg’s superior defensive record this season could prove decisive. A win for the hosts would cement their push for a top‑four finish, whereas Marseille will need a turnaround to revive their campaign.
