Saint-Etienne managed to break its 4-match losing streak in the round before last. But the Greens’ fans shouldn’t be inspired by this result – the last round ended in another defeat to Metz (3-1). And Saint-Etienne takes the 15th line in the standings.

Taking the second line in the standings, Marseille is twelve points behind the leader. But taking into account the fact that the Parisians will play in the Champions League, their loss of points in the championship is quite likely. Marseille is not burdened with European cups, and all the attention can be paid to the championship. Therefore, some intrigue in the championship is still possible. But Marseille should not lose points, especially in a meeting with a very mediocre opponent.
Marseille never lost in its last 10 championship matches and won in seven of them. And it beat Lyon, 4th Lille and 3rd Rennes. Marseille is aggressive in away matches. Half of 10 were won and only two were lost. Surely, it will at least not lose in Saint-Etienne as it did in seven of the last eight visits to Geoffroy-Guichard. But I will insure Marseille with X. All the same, Saint-Etienne did not lose in seven of 11 home matches.
Prediction for the match: Marseille to win with +0.5 handicap
