Marseille will take on Athletic Bilbao in their penultimate pre-season matchup at Stade Vélodrome on Sunday evening. Both sides have been in excellent goal-scoring form in pre-season, which sees us leaning toward a potentially high-scoring outcome here as our match prediction.
Marseille had a somewhat disappointing 2025-26 season, dropping from second place in the previous campaign to fifth last term, which saw them miss out on Champions League qualification.
After losing their first pre-season match against Nice, Les Phocéens bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Nimes and a 3-0 win against Al-Shahaniya. They have now won four of their last five in all competitions.
The hosts have won six of their last 10 home games in all competitions (D1 L3) and beat this opponent at this venue in their last encounter back in 2018 in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao endured a very poor campaign in La Liga last term, finishing all the way down in 12th place with just 45 points, 25 points fewer than they managed the previous season.
Los Leones have built up good momentum in the pre-season, though, going unbeaten in their six matches (W5 D1), while scoring two or more goals in each match during this period.
However, the visitors lost six of their final seven competitive away games last season and conceded two or more goals in all but one of those matches.

Our Marseille vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
Marseille enter this match off the back of two solid victories over Nimes and Al-Shahaniya, but it will be interesting to see how they fare against a much tougher opponent in this match.
Athletic Bilbao endured a very poor season in 2025-26, but they have been prolific in attack in pre-season, having netted 24 goals in their six matches ahead of this one. Both sides scored in each of the last three encounters between these teams, and we fancy that to be the case here as well. Our Marseille vs Athletic Bilbao prediction is BTTS.
