Marseille vs Strasbourg Tips, Predictions & Live Stream - Close Clash in Ligue 1 Opener
Marseille take on Strasbourg in a highly anticipated Ligue 1 opener. Despite Marseille’s superior record and strong pre-season form, Strasbourg have managed four consecutive away draws in previous encounters. With both clubs undergoing managerial changes and Strasbourg’s shaky pre-season, experts are backing a close contest, predicting a draw in this matchup. Key stats include Marseille’s defensive solidity and Strasbourg’s recent struggles but ability to hold Marseille at home. Bettors are advised to consider a draw, with both teams potentially scoring.
- Marseille have won 1 of their last 8 matches against Strasbourg
- The visitors are unfancied here but have a strong squad
- I am backing Hugo Oliveira’s side to pick up a point in Ligue 1
Marseille have struggled to beat Strasbourg in recent years and start the new campaign without their two top scorers. I am backing the visitors to keep this one tight a take a point.
HTH
Marseille have a 52-29 advantage against Strasbourg alongside 35 draws. Seven of the previous 11 encounters have ended in a draw.
New Era for Marseille
Marseille finished fifth in Ligue 1 last season, Roberto De Zerbi departing in February with Habib Beye completing the campaign.
Bruno Genesio is the new manager having previously been in charge of Lyon, Rennes and Lille.
The Phocaeans won three straight preseason games, ending with a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao. They lost 2-1 against Atletico Madrid last time out.
Oliveira Takes Charge of Strasbourg
Strasbourg reached the Conference League semi-finals last season and finished eighth in Ligue 1. Liam Rosenior left to join Chelsea with Gary O'Neil completing the campaign.
Hugo Oliveira is the new manager following a successful season with Famalicão. The Portuguese boss couldn’t have asked for a more disappointing preseason, losing six straight games.
The eastern club gained some confidence against Newcastle last time out, Gessime Yassine equalising in a 1-1 draw before they won the penalty shootout.

Verdict
Strasbourg are unfancied here but have drawn their previous four matches in Marseille. I am overlooking their preseason form and backing a draw in the Ligue 1 opener.
