Toulouse - Olympique Marseille (Ligue 1)

The hosts are facing the wall, still are in the relegation zone. Guests in turn missed a lot of points and it looks like they moved away from the coveted title. In autumn Marseille had no problems in his household with Toulouse and won with 2:0. Now, however, hosts are not entitled to violet error otherwise the situation will keep them at the bottom of the standings. The outcome of this curious duel is on Friday night. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 3.10 for a home win, with a draw at 3.20 and 2.40 for the victory of the guests.

Toulouse woke up late and took four points from the last three matches in Ligue 1. In the last round, the team reached the important 1:1 draw against St Etienne. The boys of Alain Casanova showed character and came to the point at the end of the match. In the camp of violets there are not many injured players. Match with Marseille will miss Etienne Didot, Ali Ahamada and Mihai Roman. The three are sidelined from long time and are not a serious problem for the coaching staff. Trouble for Alain Casanova related to the punishment of the captain Abel Aguilar, who missed Friday`s match. French specialist will rely on more defensive scheme for success against Marseille. Up front will act Wissam Ben Yedder and Aleksandar Pesic will remain on the bench.

Marseille remains 4 matches without victory and 4 points less of the top of the rankings. Last game with Caen was lost with 2:3 at the "Velodrome" after lead by 2 goals and finally gathering a crisis in which had fell the team of Marcelo Bielsa. Marseille is in a series of eight games without a win as guest in Ligue 1. Trouble for Bielsa does not end here. For Friday`s game he is not available to use the punished right backs Rod Fanni and Brice Dja Djedje. On this post will be Mario Lemina, it would not be surprised if he does not perform in the opening minutes of the game and Bielsa to move to the scheme with three defenders. Penalty, which dropped against Caen means a place on the bench for Michy Batshuayi against Toulouse.

The crisis in the composition of visitors after the half of the season is evident. We believe that the situation in Toulouse will make them more motivated on Friday night, which would bring the minimum point of the household of Marseille.

Prediction Toulouse - Olympique Marseille: 1X
Security: 7/10
Odds: 1.57 at bet365
