Marseille v Troyes Betting Tips [16 April 2023]

Olympique Marseille will look to close in on the top two of the French Ligue 1 when they play host to struggling Troyes in their Sunday league game. Heading into this game the target for Marseille is to rise into the top two, being just two points out but Troyes who are seven points below the safe line will also be targeting three points. Marseille are coming into this game on the back of an inconsistent run; without a loss in the last five matches, but just two wins. They’ve failed to score just once in that run – in their most recent game – a 0-0 draw with Lorient away from home, which was also their second clean sheet in five matches. Both sides have scored in three of Marseille’s last four matches and three of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. their biggest worry going into this game will however be their home form. The French giants have struggled a home this season, and come here without a win in five, and they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the last four.

Troyes are coming into this game on a bad run, the biggest threat to their quest to avoid relegation. They haven't won any of their last 14 matches but they come into this game with two draws. In their last five matches, three have ended in under 2.5 goals and they’ve managed to score twice in two of the five matches. Troyes have failed to score in three of their last four matches. Their most recent game ended in a 2-0 defeat at home to Clermont, and away from home it hasn’t been any better. Troyes have failed to score in three of their last five away matches, and they have three goals only in the last seven on the road.

Troyes have been poor this season and even though they meet a Marseille side that has struggled at home, the visitors’ away form doesn’t hold much promise. Troyes haven't been great in attack when playing away from home either. In the Marseille v Troyes game, we will back Marseille to win and under 2.5 goals.
