Player to watch: Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
While Aubameyang doesn't really have an impressive goalscoring tally this season in League 1, with just six goals to his name, he did also help Marseille by adding seven assists too. On top of that, those six goals are enough to make him the team's top scorer in the league.
Aubameyang to score first a good option?
While six goals in Ligue 1 aren't a huge sample size, five of those six goals Aubameyang has scored in the first half. However, only one of them was the first goal of the match, so keep that in mind before placing a bet on Aubameyang to score first.
