Olympique Marseille - Troyes betting tips and odds

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Olympique Marseille winning is by far the most likely outcome.

Troyes are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Olympique Marseille.

Olympique Marseille didn’t exactly shine in the previous round when they played at Lorient . The whole match was a rather uneventful affair, and both teams went home with a single point after a 0:0 stalemate.

Troyes were the underdogs in their previous Ligue 1 match, but the $RESULT outcome was still below most expectations. Despite a home-field advantage they fell behind quite quickly and were unable to recover, ultimately losing the bout $RESULT.

Olympique Marseille tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

Our confidence in Troyes and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

The home team are entering this matchup with plenty of reasons to give their best. They’re just 8 points behind the table leaders and the season is at a very advanced stage, leaving them with little room for mistakes.

Troyes will need to get their act together if they wish to stay in the Ligue 1. They’re still in the relegation zone and the time to fix that is slowly slipping away. The fact that they’re the clear underdogs in this matchup only makes their position harder.

Olympique Marseille clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Troyes, but it was a rather narrow victory.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
