Marseille

After a heavy defeat to PSG (0-3), Marseille struggled but managed to overcome Nantes in the following Ligue 1 match with a 2-1 score. This victory allowed the club to climb to 2nd place in the French championship standings, surpassing Monaco. Marseille is also second on the list of the highest-scoring teams in the current Ligue 1 season, finding the net 23 times, with only PSG scoring more (29). It's worth noting that Marseille has been noticeably less successful at home in the current championship, earning just 5 points compared to 15 away.

• The team has scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches.
• Marseille has conceded in 7 of their last 8 home games in this tournament.
• At home, the club has not lost in 19 of their previous 21 encounters in the French championship (11 wins, 8 draws).

Auxerre

Auxerre secured their biggest win after returning to the top French division by thrashing Rennes 4-0 in the last round. This result extended the team's unbeaten streak to 3 matches in Ligue 1 (2 wins, 1 draw), and their goal-scoring run to 6 games in this tournament, with at least two goals scored in 5 of them. This successful streak has lifted Auxerre to the 10th spot in the French championship standings and widened the gap from the relegation playoff zone to 3 points.

• The team has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 encounters.
• At least 3 goals have been scored in the last 8 matches involving Auxerre in the French championship.
• Auxerre's winless away streak in France's top league is 8 matches (2 draws, 6 losses).

Marseille vs Auxerre: Match Prediction

Marseille once again managed to secure 3 points on the road, albeit with some difficulty, by edging past Nantes. Marseille is the best away team in the current championship, but their home performance is not as successful. Their last home match in the French championship was even lost heavily to PSG. Moreover, the Marseille team regularly concedes at home, failing to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 Ligue 1 encounters.

Auxerre, on the other hand, has significantly improved after a poor start and has not lost in 4 of their last 5 championship matches. Furthermore, the club is strong in attack, scoring at least twice in 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 matches. The team has also managed to score in 6 consecutive games in this tournament.

Marseille's defensive performance in home Ligue 1 matches is not particularly reliable, having conceded in 7 of the last 8 instances. I believe that the improved visitors are greatly underestimated, and Auxerre is capable of breaching the hosts' defense. My prediction is "Auxerre to score over 0.5 goals" with odds of .
