Draw or Marseille Win and Under 3.5 Goals
Marseille are in fine form when playing on the road as they have not lost in their last five trips, winning four and drawing one. In addition, Saint Etienne drew two of their last three home games. As for the total goals, there is a 73% chance for under 3.5 goals to be scored in this match.
Marseille 0 Goals Handicap
Playing away this season, Marseille have a better record than playing on home soil. In detail, L’OM won nine and drew three of their 14 away games. In all of these 12 fixtures in Ligue 1, Marseille covered the 0 handicap.
Anytime Correct Score 0-1
Also in terms of scoring first, L’OM have done better in matches played on the road. To illustrate, Marseille opened the scoring in 71% of their away games (10/14) while doing so in just 40% of their home games (6/15).
After a horrible start that saw them go winless in their first 12 games, Saint Etienne found some momentum in the past weeks. However, Les Verts are still in the relegation and despite climbing from the bottom of the table, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Saint Etienne’s last draw against Troyes was their second in a row and boss Pascal Dupraz’s team have now won four of their last eight matches. Obviously, Dupraz’s main task will be in defense as Les Verts conceded in 14 of their last 15 home games. Nevertheless, with nine games remaining, three points is a must for the home team.
Despite the fact that Marseille are having their best season in three years, things could be even better had they shown some stability. To point out, L’OM lost some very important points at the Velodrome losing four times during the course of the season.

However, boss Jorge Sampaoli’s team are the best team in Ligue 1 when it comes to away results. Surely, Marseille need to maintain that record in this game if they want an automatic qualification for the Champions League as only the first two teams in France go to the CL.
Saint Etienne vs Marseille Prediction
It’s an important game for both teams for different reasons. Saint Etienne’s home form is quite poor while Marseille have an excellent away form. Nonetheless, we will back a combo bet of draw or away win combined with under 3.5 goals since the home side will battle for at least a point.
Safe Bet
The double chance of Saint Etienne winning or Marseille winning in the first half has odds of 1.63 at Vbet. To justify, Marseille won the first half of three of their last four Ligue 1 fixtures. Overall L’OM led nine times at the half in 13 away games this season. Thus we will consider this as our safe bet for this fixture.
Quick Rich
With Marseille’s great away form, they are favorites to win this match, and the probability according to the stats is 64%. In addition, the last four of five of Marseille’s away matches saw 1-3 goals. Hence, we will combine both outcomes of Marseille’s win and 1-3 total goals for odds of 3.65 at Vbet.
Saint Etienne vs Marseille First Goalscorer
Despite playing behind the attackers, Dimitri Payet is Marseille’s top scorer with nine goals in Ligue 1 and 11 in all competitions. In addition, the 34-yer-old has nine assists and is having one of the best seasons of his career. Considering his form, we predict Payet to be the first goalscorer on Saturday.
