Marseille vs Le Havre prediction: Olympians to comfortably beat the Dean Club
Key stats
- Marseille are on a four-match winning streak across all competitions.
- The Olympians haven’t tasted defeat in eight home competitive fixtures.
- Le Havre have drawn each of their last three Ligue 1 outings.
- The visitors are yet to win away from home this league term.
Correct score prediction: Marseille 2-0 Le Havre
Roberto De Zerbi oversaw Marseille’s fifth win of the league season, as they comfortably dispatched Metz in a 3-0 victory, before which they trumped Ajax by a 4-0 scoreline in the Champions League. Les Olympiens are in fantastic form, unlike Didier Digard’s men, who have failed to score in their last two away Ligue 1 games and remain winless in four straight fixtures.
With just one victory this season, the Dean Club are in desperate search of a positive result, which may very well be out of reach as Marseille look to register their fifth consecutive triumph in the French top-flight.

Having been benched for the clash against Metz last matchday, Aubameyang will be eager to get back to scoring ways. The Gabon stood out of the pack with an impressive man-of-the match display against Ajax with two assists and a goal in a 4-0 win, before fantastically netting all four strikes in Gabon’s 4-3 triumph over Gambia in the AFCON World Cup qualifiers during the international break.
