Marseille to continue their recent good run of form
3923

On Friday night, Marseille have the chance to continue their recent good run of form in Ligue One when they host Brest at the Orange Velodrome.

OM are currently second place in the French top-flight, eight points behind perennial champions PSG. However, Andre Villas-Boas’ team head into this game in good form. The home side has pulled off four wins in their last five league games, with their only blip an almost inevitable defeat in Paris.

The 4-0 defeat against PSG is understandable, as the Parisians have resources far beyond their rivals. The fact that the team from the French capital are so far ahead makes finishing second place an achievement to the other teams in the league. Marseille certainly look capable of becoming ‘best of the rest’ under their highly-rated head coach.

OM have been in good form in front of goal of late in the French top-flight, scoring at least twice in those aforementioned recent four wins.

A good home record is the foundation of a successful team and OM are undefeated in their last six Ligue One matches at the Velodrome, winning on four occasions in the process.

Brest are enjoying mixed fortunes in Ligue One this season. A points tally of 18 from 14 matches suggests that the visitors are highly inconsistent.

Their recent league form has not been great, as they have failed to win in three league games while suffering two defeats. A 1-1 home draw with Nantes last time out at least ended a mini losing run of two matches in Ligue One for the visitors.

Brest’s recent Ligue One outings have been, tight low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games.

Forebet predicts that Brest’s low-scoring games in Ligue One will continue in this one, with OM recording a victory to move further clear of third place in the French top-flight.
