Marseille vs Brest prediction: Olympians to hack past the Pirates
Key stats
- Marseille are yet to lose a home Ligue 1 game this term (W4, D1).
- Les Olympiens are winless in four of their last five competitive fixtures.
- Brest have failed to score in each of their last three outings (D1, L2).
- The Pirates have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 away league games.
Correct score prediction: Marseille 3-0 Brest
After their first home defeat this season at the hands of Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League – a third loss in five competitive encounters – Roberto De Zerbi’s will look to bounce back in style. The hosts have been near-perfect on home turf in the top-flight though, picking up a record 38 Ligue 1 points this calendar year.
In stark contrast, Brest are struggling to find their feet, having gone winless in five straight Ligue 1 fixtures since beating Angers in late September. With only one away win this season in five trips, earning a point at the Velodrome is going to be no walk in the park.
Marseille are expected to comfortably win all three points, as they continue their push to reclaim the top spot they held earlier in the season.
Pre-game odds and win probability: OM for the victory
- HOME: 4/9 (1.44) – 69.4%
- DRAW: 19/5 (4.80) – 20.8%
- AWAY: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.3%
Marseille are in the midst of a poor run of results, but their league form has been impressive. With 4/9 (1.44) odds assigned in their favour, Marseille carry a 69.4% chance of home success.
Brest enter the match with odds of 11/2 (6.50), suggesting a 15.3% chance of victory, largely influenced by their dismal five-match winless streak.

Player to watch: Mason Greenwood
With seven goals and three assists to his name since arriving in Ligue 1, Greenwood has won over hearts in Marseille and beyond with his performances. Although his last strike came in the 2-1 loss to Lens, he still possesses enough pace and skill to strike fear into opposition defences. After De Zerbi dropped him against Auxerre, expect Greenwood to return to the starting eleven with a point to prove.
