Ligue 1: Olympique Marseille - Saint-Étienne

I expect Olympique Marseille to do well in the 2012 French football final.

They will need all three points to get ahead of Lyon and PSG again and although they have won 3 away matches in a row, this victory was a blow to the loyal fans and scored 7 goals in 2 games here at the Velodrome. In progress... Central defender Suleiman Diawara returned to the squad today for no reason, while midfielder Benoit Cheru (16-1-0) and right-back Kassim Abdellah (9-0-0) were eliminated. That means full-fledged strikers in Jordan Aya, Remy and Gignac and explosive midfielders in Amalfitano, Valbuena and André Haya.

Former OM star Brandão (12-3-1) is unsuited to play against his former club and we know how valuable his ability to hold the ball is, especially away from home, as he has had little playing time this season. But the Saints' 6-5-1 plays multiple roles, and the 1-1-4 is without a strong forward. They are also devoid of various long-term effects. The guests have a good result at the Velodrome, having played five clean sheets in 90 minutes and gone without a win in ten away matches (seven defeats). Looks like they've lost their way, and now that OM has (nearly) a full star rating, they should end the year on a high note. 1.5 units Marseille -0.75 goals 2.12 Asian line .

Marseille : Mandanda, Brasiliana, Fani, Nkulu, Mendez, Morel, Diawara, Nidiaye, Abdullah, Cabaret, Barton, Amalfitano, Valbuena, Raspentino, A. So, J. Look, Remy, Gignac

Saint-Étienne: Rafier , Moulin, Brisson, Clerk, Guillaume, Perrin, Palamat, Zuma, Clement, Kahade, Gilavogi, Lemoine, Alexic, Aubameyang, Gradel, Hamoma, Mai
Strength.
