Marseille vs Auxerre Tips & Prediction – Marseille to Extend Their Ligue 1 Winning Run
Marseille is witnessing a resurgence in Ligue 1 under their new manager, Habib Beye, with two successive wins enhancing their prospects for UEFA Champions League qualification. They are set to face Auxerre, one of the league's less formidable teams, where a 'home win to nil' is seen as a strategic move. Maintaining this momentum is pivotal for Marseille as they strive to climb the league table and secure their place in Europe's premier competition.

Hosts Lead H2H
This is going to be 69th head to head match between these sides. Marseille hold a 31-20 advantage, 17 games ending without a winner.
Marseille Chasing a UCL Spot
Marseille had a couple of turbulent months in 2026, things culminating with departure of Roberto De Zerbi due to poor results, while Habib Beye was appointed as the new manager in mid-February.
Speaking of Ligue 1, it looks like Olympique found consistency under new leadership, winning their last two league games against Lyon 3-2 and Toulouse 1-0, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang netting two times.
They dropped out from the French Cup though, losing to Toulouse on penalties (2-2 in regular time) in between abovementioned victories, leaving them with no chance to win a trophy this season.
Visitors in Relegation Danger
Auxerre are bound to a relegation battle in Ligue 1 after securing just four victories in 25 rounds and scoring 19 goals (worst offense in the league), currently sitting inside the red zone.
Christophe Pelissier’s side wrapped up the previous month with quite a poor performance at home against Rennes, losing 3-0 while firing just two shots on target.
Both of their March appearances were stalemates, a 2-2 draw at Lorient and a goalless draw at home against Strasbourg last weekend.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Marseille (4-2-3-1) Geronimo Rulli; Timothy Weah, Leonardo Balerdi, Benjamin Pavard, Palmieri; Geoffrey Kondogbia, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg; Mason Greenwood, Ethan Nwaneri, Igor Paixao; Amine Gouiri
Quinten Timber is the only injury concern for the home side, recovering from a knock.
Auxerre (4-4-2) Donovan Leon; Marvin Senaya, Sinaly Diomande, Francisco Sierralta, Clement Akpa; Josue Casimir, Kevin Danois, Elisha Owusu, Fredrik Oppegard; Sekou Mara, Danny Loader
Lasso Coulibaly and Romain Faivre are doubtful for Auxerre, while Nathan Buayi Kiala is out with a cruciate ligament injury. Lassine Sinayoko is serving a one-game suspension.
Verdict
Marseille stepped up in Ligue 1 under new manager Habib Beye, winning their last two games. They are in need of points to stay in the UCL race, and since Auxerre are one of the weakest sides in the league, a home win to nil’ is the best bet.
