Marseille hosts Strasbourg in round 35 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, April 30th at Stade Vélodrome (Marseille)
In 2019, Olympique Marseille made a bet on Villas-Boas. And it worked in a way that no one expected - the Portuguese returned the club to the Champions League after a long time. However, the team didn’t manage to achieve anything there, albeit it faced Manchester City and Porto, which later reached the 1/4 stage. And most importantly, a decline began in League 1. As a result, Andre left the project, using the acquisition of Ntcham, not agreed with him, as an excuse. But rather, it was a reaction to the fan attack on the base. In any case, this shake-up was good for the club. The Olympians brought Jorge Sampaoli back to Europe. And he started with dignity - 16 points in his first seven matches in France and 10 out of 12 possible in April.

Having made several spurts in the middle of the decade, Strasbourg managed to return to Ligue 1. And in 2019, the Racers even replenished their collection of trophies by winning the League Cup. The last draw (though, not completed) brought a relatively good 10th place. Against this background, now the charges of Thierry Laurey look clearly worse (the coach headed the team five years ago and raised it from the very bottom). And this despite the excellent performance of a pair of strikers, Habib Diallo (8 + 3) and Ludovic Ajorque (13 + 4). The only thing that can please the fans of the team is that the prospect of falling into Ligue 2 is only theoretical. Dijon has already been relegated, and Nimes and Nantes have six points less. And such a situation may explain the latest results. Having beaten Bordeaux after a pause for international matches (3-2), Strasbourg earned only one point in three matches (a 1-1 draw on the pitch of Nimes). At the same time, the Racers lost to PSG and Nantes at home.
Marseille has not lost to Strasbourg since 2005. The unbeaten streak has already reached 12 matches. And the last three games ended in victories of Olympique. After the arrival of Sampaoli, Marseille looks good and solid again. Strasbourg is unlikely to stop it. We will bet on another victory of the Olympians.
Prediction for the match: Marseille to win
