Prediction: Marseille or draw
Best odds: 1.14

As the Ligue 1 season intensifies, the upcoming match between Marseille and Clermont Foot promises to be a captivating encounter. With predictions hinting at a favorable outcome for the home side, it's intriguing to delve into the specifics that might influence this result. Will Marseille seize the opportunity to climb the ranks, or can Clermont Foot cause an upset despite their struggle at the bottom of the table?

Key Players

Marseille's midfield dynamo, Azzedine Ounahi, has been an essential cog in their setup, boasting a rating of 6.83. With 2 shots on target, 5 shots total, and an impressive 254 passes, including 5 key passes, he has netted twice, showcasing his ability to influence the game both in possession and in front of goal.

Upfront, Iliman Cheikh Baroy Ndiaye brings a rating of 6.85 to the table. His sharpshooting has seen him attempt 11 shots, 5 on target, and contribute 2 assists. His creativity is underlined by his 9 key passes, and although he has scored just once, his presence in attack cannot be underestimated.

The experience of Pierre-Emerick Emiliano Franço Aubameyang, with a rating of 6.89, also cannot be ignored. With 8 shots on target from 21 attempts and 3 assists, Aubameyang's prowess and 2 goals are vital for Marseille's offensive threat.

For Clermont Foot, Yohann Magnin stands out in midfield with a rating of 6.70. His 4 shots on target from 7 attempts and 2 goals demonstrate his capacity to make a difference.

In attack, Grejohn Kyei brings a rating of 6.78, and while he may have only 1 goal to his name, his 2 shots on target from 3 attempts indicate a player with an eye for goal.

Defensively, Florent Ogier has been a rock at the back for Clermont with a rating of 6.80. His ability to contribute in both defense and attack is highlighted by his 1 goal from 3 shot attempts.

Recent Form

Marseille's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last five games resulting in a win, two draws, and two losses. This inconsistency has left them in 9th place with 17 points. On the other hand, Clermont Foot's struggle is evident as they sit in 17th place. Their form guide reads a win, two draws, and two losses, indicating a team fighting to escape the relegation zone.

Head-to-Head History

The history between these two teams favors Marseille, who have won the previous encounters. On February 11, 2023, Marseille secured a comfortable 2-0 victory away at Clermont Foot. Earlier in the season, on August 31, 2022, they also claimed a narrow 1-0 win at home. These results reflect Marseille's dominance in this fixture.

Prediction

Considering the predictions and the teams' current form, Marseille appears to be the favorite to take all three points. The prediction models favor them with a 45% chance of victory and a similar likelihood of a draw. Clermont Foot, with only a 10% chance of winning, will have to defy the odds to come away with anything from the Stade Orange Vélodrome.

The advice leans towards a "Combo Double chance: Marseille or draw and -3.5 goals," indicating a low-scoring affair, with the under-over set at -3.5. Marseille's strong home record, with no losses and a solid defensive showing of conceding just one goal, contrasts sharply with Clermont's away vulnerabilities.

In conclusion, the match is expected to be a tight contest, but with the home advantage and key players like Azzedine Ounahi, Iliman Cheikh Baroy Ndiaye, and Pierre-Emerick Emiliano Franço Aubameyang, Marseille is predicted to either win or at the very least, hold Clermont Foot to a draw, with fewer than 3.5 goals scored in total. Clermont will need to rely heavily on the likes of Yohann Magnin, Grejohn Kyei, and Florent Ogier to disrupt this forecast and secure a much-needed positive result.
