Maeseille vs Strasburg

Marseille will be looking to start their Ligue 1 campaign with a victory when they welcome Strasbourg to the Stade Velodrome. OM suffered a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in their last warm-up game, but they registered an impressive 2.03 xG per game across their last 10 fixtures. However, they will need to adapt to life without key forward Mason Greenwood, while centre-back Facundo Medina has also left the club. Hamed Traore has arrived as one of the notable summer additions.

Strasbourg, meanwhile, head into the opener after defeating Newcastle on penalties in their final warm-up game. Le Racing have won only three of their last 10, conceding 1.70 goals per game and failing to keep a single clean sheet during that run. Fabio Balde, Jeyland Mitchell, Jacobo Ortega and Diogo Sousa have joined, but Valentin Barco, Julio Enciso and Emmanuel Emegha have departed. Marseille have dominated this fixture historically, winning eight of the last 18 meetings, with Strasbourg winning just once.

As OM have a strong home record and dominate this H2H, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Marseille Over 1.5 (they average 1.86 goals per home game), and Marseille to Score First.
