The clock is ticking down to the start of the new Ligue 1 and English Premier League seasons. This Saturday sees Aston Villa travel to Marseille for a pre-season friendly. Here's our match prediction.
Monday saw Villa beat Roma 4-0 in a pre-season friendly played at the Bescot Stadium in Walsall. They led 3-0 at half-time in that match but suffered a blow after the break when Morgan Rogers was injured.
22 players were used in that game by Villa and a similar tactic may be used in this match. Villa ended last season in sixth place and missed out on qualifying for the Champions League on goal difference. They are unbeaten in their last four friendlies.
Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 last season, 19 points behind PSG. They have played five warm-up games for the new season and are yet to lose. Their most recent game saw them held to a 1-1 home draw by Sevilla. That made it three draws in their last four matches.
Their opening friendly was a 5-0 win at Excelsior Maassluis with Mason Greenwood scoring a hat-trick. Their other victory came at home when defeating Girona 2-0. Valencia and Charleroi were the other sides to hold them to a draw.
We tip both teams to score in this match.

Our Marseille vs Aston Villa Prediction
Marseille host Aston Villa in this pre-season friendly. Both clubs are unbeaten in their recent friendlies with Villa getting an impressive 4-0 win over Roma earlier this week. They will again be using plenty of players in this match and that does make betting on the game a bit difficult.
Low stakes are therefore suggested if you want to bet on this match. Marseille have drawn three of their last four friendlies but remained unbeaten. Our Marseille v Aston Villa prediction is both teams to score.
