Bordeaux - Olympique Marseille betting tips and odds

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Olympique Marseille.

If everything goes according to plan and Olympique Marseille put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Bordeaux are here on the back of a narrow 2:3 home loss against Lille . Bordeaux were considered hard underdogs in that matchup, however, and the lead the held on to after the first half was more surprising than the final result.

Olympique Marseille’s latest home game performance was fairly dull, and it didn’t show them in a great light. That particular bout against Reims produced no winners in either half of the match, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The $ODDS odds do not exactly favour the home team ahead of their meeting with Olympique Marseille. Such a thing is hardly a surprise knowing that Bordeaux are currently three places out of the relegation zone with 17 next to their name after 20 rounds.

The season is definitely heating up now, and Olympique Marseille find themselves 13 points behind the number 1 slot on the table. They’re still in contention to claim the title, which will further motivate them to earn some points this Friday. Nothing is assured with a team like Bordeaux in their way, though.

Olympique Marseille are seen as the stronger team – after all, they’re expected to win this game despite the home-field disadvantage. However, they failed to defeat Bordeaux in the home game they played earlier in the season.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Mexer, Enock Kwateng, Tom Lacoux, Remi Oudin, Dilane Bakwa, Sékou Mara, Stian Gregersen are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of Bordeaux are considerable.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
