Olympique Marseille

Marseille’s decision to appoint Roberto de Zerbi, a manager known for his preference to influence transfers, raised eyebrows given the club’s traditional management style. Despite this initial scepticism, De Zerbi’s impact has been largely positive, with Marseille performing better than previous seasons. 

The club made some controversial signings during the transfer summer, such as Adrien Rabiot and Mason Greenwood, who added quality to the squad and have become key players under de Zerbi. Other signings, like forward Elye Wahi and goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, also directly claimed their place in the starting lineup.

While many believed Marseille would implode due to internal discord, Les Olympiens have surprisingly seen little drama among their key figures.

Currently, Marseille sit second in Ligue 1 with 20 points, trailing only Paris Saint-Germain, who lead with 26 points.

So far, the team has only suffered two defeats in Ligue 1: a 1-0 defeat against Strasbourg and a 3- 0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain at the Vélodrome. 

Auxerre 

After their promotion to France’s first division, Auxerre have managed to establish themselves as a solid mid-table side in Ligue 1.

Auxerre’s season has been mixed. They have recorded four victories, one draw, and six defeats. They are currently 10th with 13 points and a negative goal difference (-1). 

However, AJA has been undefeated in their last three matches, as they defeated Reims (2-0) and Rennes (4-0), along with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Lyon.

Auxerre has a promising record in attack but struggle in defence, keeping only two clean sheets against Auxerre and Brest since the beginning of the season.

However, they have shown notable improvement compared to the beginning of the season, when they lost four games in a row. 

Paul Joly, Nathan Buyai-Kiala and Lasso Coulibaly are injured and won’t be available for the match.

Olympique Marseille vs AJ Auxerre Prediction

  • Prediction: Olympique Marseille to win
  • Odds: 1.392 (22Bet)
  • Score Prediction: Olympique Marseille 3-0 Auxerre

Auxerre’s solid recent form shows resilience, but Marseille’s strong start to the season and superior firepower make them clear favourites to win at the Vélodrome. 

Auxerre already lost against third-placed AS Monaco (3-0), but did win against Nice (2-1) in the first match of the season. However, some might argue that top teams often struggle in their first match, which means Auxerre’s victory against Nice should be seen as an exception. 

Marseille’s emphasis is on the attack, which means that Auxerre’s lack of defensive solidity could be exposed at the Vélodrome.

Olympique Marseille vs AJ Auxerre Betting Tip

  • Pick: Neal Maupay to score
  • Odds: 2.625 (22Bet)

Since returning to Ligue 1 after seven years in the Premier League, Neal Maupay has rediscovered his scoring touch. 

With Mason Greenwood, another former Premier League player, operating as a creative outlet, Maupay has become a regular scorer for Marseille. 

Given Auxerre’s knack for scoring but porous defense, Marseille is likely to outscore Auxerre. This makes Neal Maupay to score a plausible bet.
