My Prediction
Olympique de Marseille by 1Well, fasten your seatbelts and dry your palms, folks, we've got a fiery match ahead between Olympique de Marseille and Strasbourg.
Strasbourg's goalie, Đorđe Petrović, whose saves this season are edging into the double digits, might just give Gerónimo Rulli, Marseille's goalie with a more pea-sized saves count, a run for his money.
Let's peek at some players now, Mason Greenwood, Valentin Rongier, and Adrien Rabiot for Marseille are putting in the shifts with not just vital goals but also impressive passing stats. Strasbourg, on the other hand, has Emanuel Emegha and Habib Diarra waving their flags high with few goals and commendable passing stats.
Oh, and get this, some unfortunate injuries, those pesky hurdles that make every match feel a tad incomplete. On Strasbourg's side, Dion Moise Sahi and Thomas Delaine are sidelined, while Marseille will miss Valentine Carboni and Faris Pemi Moumbagna.
In their past clashes, friends or perhaps not-friends, Olympique and Strasbourg have drawn blood equally. However, if we shift our eyes to the regular season records, Olympique seems to be way ahead of the curve with 11 wins as compared to Strasbourg's 6.
Recently, Strasbourg has shown some semblance of consistency, literally bookended by wins. On the flip side, Olympique has proven themselves to be no pushovers, losing zero in sight.
So, with the dice stacked and numbers crunched all into this tantalizing bubble of suspense, I'm calling curtains with:
