Paris Saint Germain - Olympique Marseille betting tips and odds

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.71, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Olympique Marseille seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.75, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The home team’s indecisiveness in the previous round resulted in an upset defeat to Nice despite a home-field advantage. The first half ended in a tie score, but the visitors finally managed to break the stalemate in the late game and win the bout 2:3.

Those of you who backed Olympique Marseille to win their last Ligue 1 game at 1.48 betting odds will have been left empty-handed. Though they were playing and home as firm favourites, they failed to do anything more than to settle at a halftime stalemate - – and another one at the end - 0:0.

Paris Saint Germain have managed to bag 9 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Parc des Princes are expecting a lot of action this time around.

The 5th spot in the standings Paris Saint Germain currently hold is promising – though they’re set on moving up further into the Champions League spots, Europa League finish to the season would still be a good prize for the hosts.

Most bookmakers agree that Olympique Marseille are the clear underdogs in this matchup, despite the solid form they’ve displayed in the season so far. They’re just 2 points behind the table leaders after 6 rounds.

Last season, the hosts met Olympique Marseille and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.55, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
