Now, the challenge for Andre Villas-Boas’ men is to maintain their second spot on the log, right behind table toppers PSG. For that, they will have to secure victory against this unpredictable Girondins Bordeaux outfit.

Marseille have amassed 42 points from 21 games so far and are just two points away from third-placed Rennes, who are hot on their tails.
The hosts are still in the running for an Europa League place finish, sitting tenth on the standings, a mere four points shy of Montpellier Herault in fourth place.

Expect an exciting and enthralling game of football as these two sides tussle for maximum points at the Stade Matmut Atlantique on Sunday evening.

Bordeaux vs Marseille Team News

Following their humiliating 2-3 loss in the French Cup against third-tier outfit Pau, Bordeaux were itching to set the record straight when they squared up against Nantes last time out in the league. Les Girondins duly delivered as they swept Nantes aside via a narrow 1-0 score-line.

Though they secured the win, they wouldn’t read too much into the game, given they were made to scrap really hard to see off a struggling Nantes side. They didn’t play particularly well and were lucky to have the numerical advantage after Andrei Girotto was sent off by the referee.

Paolo Sousa’s men have been in disappointing form recently and that was only their second win in their last eight matches. Les Girondins couldn’t follow up the very good run they had in November and have struggled to defeat beatable opponents like Brest and Strasbourg.

A recurrent problem for them this season has been the defense as they have shipped in twelve goals in their last eight matches. Upfront they haven’t been impressive either as they have scored only two goals in their last five Ligue 1 matches.

Bordeaux have lost three of their last four matches against Marseille, so it is difficult to see a change in trend with the hosts’ current form.

Marseille are coming into this match in fantastic form, having been scoring and winning matches for fun recently. They have won eleven of their last thirteen matches in all competition, with a massive 26 goals scored and just six conceded in the period.

Andre Villas-Boas’ men are currently sitting in second place in Ligue 1 which is a great achievement, given the Portuguese gaffer had limited time to work on the team following his late appointment last year.

Away from home they have been particularly impressive recently, with five wins and a draw in their last six encounters away from home. Four of those matches have even come with clean sheets, so the whole team is performing greatly.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Bordeaux: François Kamano.

Marseille: Florian Thauvin.

Bordeaux vs Marseille Predictions

We do not see how Bordeaux can stop this Marseille side. The hosts are struggling both in attack and defense, and the visitors should be able to continue their dominance in this fixture. We are backing Marseille to win this match very comfortably, grabbing a couple of goals in the process.
