Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Le Havre
Match Time & Date:
19/05/2024
21:00
Prediction: 0-2
Marseille
Stade Oceane will host Sunday’s football game between Le Havre and Olympique Marseille, the two teams with entirely different ambitions. Le Havre are desperate to secure the top flight survival and they are one point away from meeting the goal. As a result, we predict that the hosts are going to adopt a defence-minded approach against OM. Midfielder Yassine Kechta misses the last game of the season through suspension, while forward Mohamed Bayo remains in the recovery room with a sprained ankle.
The visitors, on the other hand, are eager to represent France in European competitions for yet another season. As Marseille are desperate to pick up all three points from the match, away win should definitely be considered. Bear in mind that Le Havre should secure the Ligue 1 survival regardless of the outcome due to the better goal difference. All Valentin Rongier, Pedro Ruiz, and Bilal Nadir are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang):
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the most famous Gabonese player and he is the first footballer from Gabon to appear in Bundesliga. Aubameyang played for the likes of Dijon, Lille, Monaco and St. Etienne in the past before joining Borussia Dortmund on July, 2013. The pacey attacker signed a five-year contract with the Millionaires and he has been producing outstanding performances with the Signal-Iduna-Park outfit ever since.
Aubameyang impressed in the 2015–16 Bundesliga, scoring 25 goals in 31 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, but that did not help Thomas Tuchel’s men win the domestic trophy. Speaking of his international career, the 187-cm-tall striker made his Gabon debut on 25 March, 2009 and he scored his first goal for the national team in a 3-2 win over Morocco.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang helped Gabon make it to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. It has to be noted, though, that he played for France U-21 team in the past. Aubameyang was born in Laval, France on 18 June, 1989.
Highlighted Team (Marseille):
Olympique de Marseille are considered one of the best French football clubs. Les Olympiens won their ninth Ligue 1 title in 2010, but winning of the 1992/1993 Champions League trophy is seen as the club’s biggest success. Marseille defeated Italian giants Milan in the title game, with Basile Boli scoring the winner (1-0) in the Olympiastadion showdown.
It has to be noted, though, that the Stade Velodrome outfit were banned from defending the title in the 1993/1994 season after being involved in a match-fixing scandal. To make things even worse for the fans, the club suffered enforced relegation to the Ligue 2. Olympique de Marseille participated in the Europa League final on two occasions (1998/1999, 2003/2004), but they were beaten by Parma and Valencia respectively in the title games. OM’s home ground Stade Velodrome was opened on June 13, 1997 and the capacity of the stadium is 67.394.
The likes of Franck Ribery, Didier Deschamps, Didier Drogba, Laurent Blanc, Fabien Barthez, Samir Nasri, Fabrizio Ravanelli and Djibril Cisse all played for Marseille in the past.
