Marseille to Win-to-Nil
Marseille lost only once in their last eight matches, and that happened in a controversial match against PSG. However, the problem regarding this Marseille vs Troyes prediction and the home team's chances of finishing inside the top three of Ligue 1, is that they have played three draws in their past five outings which cost them some important points, and that is the reason they lost the second spot to Lens. Troyes hasn't won a match since the opening day of the calendar year and it will require a small miracle to save themselves from relegation. In their last eight h2h matches, Marseille won six times, and a couple of games ended in a draw.
Under 3.5 Goals
Troyes is used to losing with big margins when they are playing away from home, and we can expect a defensive-minded team for the Marseille vs Troyes clash this weekend. However, when it comes to scoring goals, a lot will depend on how Marseille approaches this match, and how well they will take care of their opportunities in front of the opposing goal. Marseille didn't pass the 3.5 goals mark in 22 games this season including four out of the last five matches they played. Troyes had three under 3.5 goals matches from the past five outings, but they also had the most games with more than three goals scored this season in the league.

Marseille vs Troyes Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Marseille
The hosts weren't able to win their last two games which saw them drop to the third spot in Ligue 1 which is the final place that would take them to the Champions League. The positive thing is that for the remaining four home games they will have opponents who are struggling to stave off relegation. Azzedine Ounahi is the only player missing from the home team.
Expected lineup: Lopez, Gigot, Balerdi, Kolasinac, Clauss, Rongier, Veretout, Tavares, Under, Guendouzi, Sanchez.
Troyes
It's been four and half months and 14 games since the last time Troyes won a match and for the remaining eight matches before the season end, the situation at the club is dire to say it mildly. They are seven points away from safety inside the relegation zone and with their current form and the schedule of games that is following, it is going to be difficult to escape the worst fate. Renaud Ripart, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Abdu Conte, and Karim Azamoum are missing the trip to Marseille.
Expected lineup: Gallon, Salmier, Rami, Palmer-Brown, Yade, Agoume, Kouame, T. Balde, Odobert, Rony Lopes, M. Balde.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Troyes
Player to Watch: Jonathan Clauss
The right-back hasn't been scoring goals at will which is to be expected from a player in his position, but he did get one this season. His main asset to the team is his crossing ability, and he is doing it quite well. He has assisted for goals on eight occasions which is the best mark on the team.
