Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that St Etienne and Marseille will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Oliver Dall'Oglio or Roberto De Zerbi has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s lately either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.20 equating to approximately a 81% probability.
