After being dumped out of the French Cup, Marseille gears up for a Ligue 1 clash against Strasbourg at Orange Velodrome on matchday 18. Marseille are second and have maintained a 13-point cushion over ninth-placed Strasbourg in the league standings. Here's our match prediction. 

Marseille has accumulated 36 points from 17 games in Ligue 1 this season and is seven points behind the top-ranked PSG.

The Phocéens suffered a rare defeat in the French Cup as they lost 4-3 on penalties against Lille after playing out a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

Despite that setback, Roberto De Zerbi's men enter this encounter high on confidence. A 2-1 league win against Rennes stretched their unbeaten run to six games (W5, D1) with 15 goals scored during this run. 

Strasbourg has kicked off the new year in emphatic fashion. This is a team that has won three consecutive matches in all competitions including their nervous win against fifth-tier ES Thaon in the French Cup round of 32.

Racing has not suffered a league defeat since a 3-1 away loss against Brest on the last day of November 2024. 

Since then the team has avoided defeat in four matches and a recent 2-1 away win against Toulouse marked their third consecutive win. However, away from home, they've been struggling, recording just two wins in their last nine outings (D2, L5).

Our Marseille vs Strasbourg Prediction

Meetings between Marseille and Strasbourg have turned out to be tight affairs with four of their last five matches ending in stalemates. However, with Marseille at home, there's no doubt they are favorites to claw their way to a hard-fought win and seek payback for their 1-0 defeat in the previous fixture. 

Considering that this matchup pits both sides that have been prolific in attack this season, it's safe to say that neither side will focus too much on the defensive front here. We expect a high-octane affair filled with many goals. Our Marseille v Strasbourg prediction is: Over 2.5.
