Strasbourg vs Marseille Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The last four meetings between these sides have ended in draws, but a draw might be the best that Strasbourg can hope for here. They have not beaten Marseille in their last twelve games against them.
• Despite only winning one of their first five games this season, Strasbourg have been an exciting watch for the most part. Only three sides have outscored them so far, and only four sides have conceded more than them too.
• Marseille are one of four teams who remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season. They have also won their last three games, and only reigning champions Paris St. Germain have scored more goals than them so far.
• Controversial Marseille striker Mason Greenwood is currently leading the list of Ligue 1's top scorers. He has scored five goals in his first five games for his new club.
• Given their own goalscoring exploits, it shouldn't be a surprise to find three different Strasbourg players in the list of Ligue 1's top scorers. Emanuel Emegha, Sebastian Nanasi and Andrey Santos have all scored three thus far.

Strasbourg vs Marseille Prediction

Given the reckless style employed by Strasbourg and Roberto de Zerbi's own attacking verve currently driving Marseille up the table, this one could be an exciting match.

However, despite enjoying the home advantage, it's difficult to see Strasbourg finding much success here.

Not only do they have an awful recent record against Marseille, but it's unlikely that their defense is going to be able to cope with the attacking talents of De Zerbi's side.

Therefore, an away win is the prediction here.

Prediction: Strasbourg 2-4 Marseille
