On Saturday night, Strasbourg hosts Marseille at the Stade de la Meinau as the home team looks to move away from the Ligue One relegation zone.
The home team are only out of the Ligue One relegation courtesy of a superior goal difference to 17th place Brest. Strasbourg have picked up just nine points from their 12 Ligue games this season, winning just once in the current campaign.

A 2-2 draw at Toulouse last time out means that Strasbourg has a record of three defeats, one win and one draw in their previous five Ligue One games. Julien Stephan’s team has also conceded at least two goals in their last five matches in the French top flight.
Home advantage has offered little comfort either, as Strasbourg hasn’t won any of their previous six home games in the French top flight. They have also kept just one clean sheet in their last six Ligue One home matches.
OM have already experienced something of a rollercoaster campaign. The visitors made a stellar start to the new Ligue One season.
However, things have gone badly wrong of late, as a 1-0 defeat by Lens in their last match in the French top-flight means that Marseille have suffered three straight league defeats.
The visitor's recent league matches have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games.
OM have a decent recent away record, as they have recorded five wins in their last eight away matches in Ligue One. A 1-0 defeat at PSG in their previous away game in the French top-flight ended a three-match winning run on their travels in Ligue One.
Forebet predicts that Marseille will end their recent losing streak in Ligue One by recording a narrow win in a high-scoring encounter.
