Auxerre - Olympique Marseille betting tips and odds

Auxerre are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Ligue 1, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.50, it’s not very likely to happen.

With a price of 1.82 on them winning, Olympique Marseille should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

Auxerre lost their previous away game, although the narrow 2:1 margin means it’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, Olympique Lyonnais , their opponents, were given odds of 1.29 for a victory. They pulled ahead in the first half and Auxerre never managed to equalize.

The Olympique Marseille supporters were on pins and needles during the first 45 minutes of the last Ligue 1 game as their team struggled to break in front against Clermont. Even though they were made huge favourites to earn an easy win (1.47) it all came down to one goal that made all the difference in the world.

Auxerre have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

The hosts appear to be just 3 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot, but climbing up will be a difficult task. They’ll be lucky to walk away with any points at all this Saturday, and the season is just beginning.

Olympique Marseille are off to a positive start to the new Ligue 1 campaign. Currently 0 points behind the league leaders, the visitors are within the Champions League spots. There might be a long road ahead of them but 1.82 betting odds offered at bookies on their win here suggest they might be about to take another step in the right direction.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 1 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
