Olympique Marseille - Ajaccio (1+over1,5) With high spirits, Marseille welcomes the newly enlightened and tailed Ajaxio. The Marseille side on Tuesday hosted Sporting Lisbon for the Champions League group stage and found themselves 0-1 down in the first minute but before the 45th minute had turned around to make it 3-1 with the help of the Portuguese club's goalkeeper and expulsion of their opponents in the 23rd minute although the score was already 2-1 at 16'. The 4-1 win put Marseille back on course for qualification after their previous two defeats to Tottenham and Eintracht.
In the league they are undefeated with 7-2-0 and with a win today they will take the top spot at least for a little while until they see what Paris will do at the home of Reims. Ajaccio looks like an ideal opponent between two European matches as they will travel to Portugal during the week. It can achieve its 8th victory despite the absences of the very active midfielder Genuzzi and Kolasinac. The Corsican team could not follow up the double they had achieved at home to Brest, losing 1-3 to Clermont with two goals in the last minutes of the match, bringing back the disappointment in the team.
I don't think Ajaxio can claim anything in Marseille with the image it presents. Offensively he can't. The 5 goals he has scored in 9 matches is nothing when he has to face the best defense in the division. Marseille will go for the win which pays low as is normal but their win and getting over a goal into the match gives us 1.83 at Betshop.
