Strasbourg hosting Marseille will conclude Match Day 6 action in the French Ligue 1 this Sunday. Ahead of the match at the Stade de la Meinau, Le Racing are 10th, eight places behind Les Phoceens. Let’s have a look at the preview and prediction.

The hosts have twice treated Ligue 1 fans to thrilling matches, unfortunately failing to win either. First was their 4-3 loss to Lyon then most recently a 3-3 draw with Lille.

While Strasbourg have come out as a very attacking side, they’ve been let down massively by their defending. In five matches thus far, Liam Rosenior’s side has no clean sheet, and conceded 10 goals.

In this shape the gains from scoring 11 times in five matches aren’t fully realized. It also poses a danger the way they’ve been conceding leads, yet they are set to face an attacking Marseille side.

Marseille are one of the three sides that could finish this weekend top of the standings. They are tied on 13 points with PSG and Monaco and lacking continental assignments this season works in their favor.

They have started the season solidly and at the end of this long trip to the north, they should be returning with all three points. Last time out, despite having Leonardo Balerdi sent off early, Marseille held their own to beat Lyon.

They came from behind, lost the lead then retook it to win 3-2 in stoppage time. In this shape, manager Roberto De Zerbi will have no quibbles at all that they have just one clean sheet.

Their away form is also great, Marseille having lost just once in the last 11 on the road in Ligue 1.
