Best Tip: Marseille to win

A Ligue 1 home win for Habib Beye's Marseille team win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Stats suggest they have what it takes, and they should be too strong for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers suggest the same, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Marseille win is the bet we'd suggest, even if a tight match is possible.
