Marseille vs Bordeaux prediction, preview, team news and more

This Sunday sees a Ligue 1 clash between Marseille and Bordeaux at the Stade Vélodrome.

Marseille got their 2021-22 campaign off to a good start last weekend with a thrilling victory over Montpellier, while Bordeaux were beaten by newly promoted Clermont.

So will Marseille condemn Bordeaux to their second defeat of the season? Or will visitors bounce back with an upset victory?

One of Marseille’s last games of the 2020-21 campaign saw them draw 3-3 with Montpellier, and both sides picked up where they left off in the weekend’s season opener. last end.

Montpellier took a 2-0 lead, but Marseille came back in force, eventually winning 2-3 thanks to a goal from Dimitri Payet.

Jorge Sampaoli’s men ended their previous campaign on a high – losing just one of their last eight games – and last weekend’s victory gives them hope for an impressive season.

Bordeaux, meanwhile, finished the 2020-21 campaign in 12th place, but it was a somewhat disappointing finish. They were just five points away from the relegation barrage and have lost 12 of their last 17 games.

And despite the replacement of boss Jean-Louis Gasset by former Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic, last weekend’s disappointing home loss to Clermont was worrying. Bordeaux failed to score despite ten shots, and conceded 19 shots in return.
