Bookmaker ratings: Prediction one: Marseille to win – 1.83
Bookmaker ratings: Prediction two: Total goals over 2.5 – 1.72
According to bookies, Marseille are clear favorites to win this matchup. That’s obvious, as the hosts have lost the last 4 league games, while Marseille have won 6 of their previous 7 matches against Brest.
We do not expect it to be an easy victory for Igor Tudor’s side, but a team to want to compete with PSG can’t lose points in such games.
The previous 5 meetings between those teams have seen more than 2.5 goals.
Considering that both are particularly high-scoring sides in their recent league matches, we will back Total goals over 2.5 outcome.
Brest kicked off their new season in a dramatic Ligue 1 match against Lens. Despite losing 2:3, Michel der Zakarian’s men fought until the end, as they came back with the score from 0-3 to 2-3.
Meanwhile, Brest have extended their winless streak in Ligue to four matches (L4) and need to bounce back against Marseille.
On the other hand, Marseille made a winning start to their Ligue 1 campaign last weekend, beating Reims 4-1 at home. It was also the first win for the manager of Marseille, Igor Tudor, who silenced his critics with this positive result.
As an away team, Marseille are really strong. Les Phocéens were the best away side in Ligue 1 last campaign (W12, D3, L4). Moreover, an impressive 8 of those 12 wins were accompanied by a clean sheet.
Meanwhile, Marseille have managed to significantly strengthen their squad this summer. They have signed Jordan Veretout from AS Roma and Alexis Sanchez from Inter.
With this squad, Marseille can compete for the Ligue 1 title.
The hosts will miss forward Steve Mounie due to injury.
Marseille goalkeeper Pau Lopez is ruled out due to muscle injury. Meanwhile, former Barcelona, Arsenal and Inter forward Alexis Sanchez has joined French club Olympique Marseille on a free transfer this week.
Reims: Pentz; Locko, Abdelhamid, Faes, Gravillon, Agbadou, Matusiwa, Muntesi, Van Bergen, Zeneli, Toure
Marseille: Blanco; Gigot, Balerdi, Mbemba, Rongier, Guendouzi, Clauss, Tavares, Under, Payet, Milik
