Prediction: 2-1
Brest
Following a 2-1 loss to Lille, Olympique Marseille will be aiming to impress in their last home game of the season when they take on Brest on Saturday evening. OM have already booked their place in the Champions League, but they surely want to finish the season in great manner. Samuel Gigot limped off with injury in the last league match, with Issa Kabore likely to step up, while Dimitri Payet misses out through suspension.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Auxerre and Clermont, but seeing that Marseille have turned their Stade Velodrome into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Defender Noah Fadiga remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting in the French top flight the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
