Prediction: 1-0
Strasbourg
Olympique Marseille will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rennes when they take on Strasbourg on Matchday 27. OM are eager to keep their title hopes alive, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Samuel Gigot misses out with an ankle problem, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Igor Tudor is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated les Rouges et Noirs at the weekend.
Le Racing, meanwhile, are sitting just above the relegation zone, and given their poor away record, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. As for the away team, midfielder Ismael Doukoure is banned for the match, while all Le Marchand, Djiku, Sanson, Bellegarde, and Kawashima remain on the sidelines through injuries.
