Olympique Marseille form and stats

A Ligue 1 draw at home so far for Olympique Marseille. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from 19 matches.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Olympique, who played 2-2 against Bordeaux. That match was also played at this venue (Orange Vélodrome). Attacking player Cengiz Ünder bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.43 out of 10. Ünder scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 22 successful passes (of 24 total). Opportunity lost for Olympique in the Bordeaux match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Montpellier.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Olympique's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.

Olympique Marseille has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Saint-Étienne form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Ligue 1 away game of the season. During their previous season 19 away games resulted in 7 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats. With three draws in a row for Saint-Étienne the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Saint-Étienne's last game was the home draw against Lille (1-1). Saïdou Sow was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.05. The defender Sow scored one goal and won 4 of 8 duels.

Before that, Saint-Étienne travelled to Lens and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Saint-Étienne when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.

2 goals so far away for Saint-Étienne, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the preceeding ten meetings involving these two crews are: five wins for Olympique, one draw and four wins for Saint-Étienne. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
