Marseille-Auxerre is a match of the thirty-third day of Ligue 1 and is played on Sunday at 8:45 pm: statistics, likely formations, predictions.
On paper Marseille should have no problems. But we know very well that football is not an exact science, and against Auxerre, which is looking for very heavy points for the race for salvation, the task for Tudor’s team looms difficult.
But after regaining second place in the standings, the one that in France allows qualification to the Champions League rounds, the team led by the former Verona coach absolutely wants to win to keep Lens at a distance. And he should manage it also because there will be no formation problems and at least there in front, where Marseille can definitely make a difference, everyone should be available to the Croatian.
The hosts come to this match on the strength of seven useful results in a row that have given a decidedly different meaning to the standings. But the moment is also great for Auxerre to exploit, as it is four consecutive games in which the host formation has managed to bring points home. In short, could the surprise come out? We reiterate the concept expressed earlier: it is very difficult for this to happen especially because of the value this match has for Marseille.

The prediction
A challenge that Tudor’s team is almost obliged to win in order to maintain second place in the standings. A challenge that Tudor’s team will most likely win. A match that should as well give at least one goal per team, but the absolute certainty – whatever, maybe less – is given by the fact that the hosts must do everything to bring home the entire stake. And they should succeed in the end, too.
