🏟 Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg)

Strasbourg has had a mixed start to their Ligue 1 campaign with one win, three draws, and one loss. Despite being beaten 4-3 by Lyon, they showed resilience by coming back from 2-0 down to take the lead against Lille, eventually drawing 3-3 due to a late penalty. Strasbourg sits mid-table, with only one defeat in their last six home matches (W4, D1), and another victory would mark their 1000th home win in all competitions. However, achieving that milestone against Marseille may be difficult, as Strasbourg hasn't won any of their last 17 Ligue 1 encounters with them (D9, L8), the longest winless streak against any opponent in their history.

Marseille, on the other hand, are in fine form and remain unbeaten in their first five league matches (W4, D1), keeping pace with PSG. Their last victory came in dramatic fashion, winning 3-2 against Lyon despite having a player sent off in the first five minutes. This win extended their perfect away record this season (W3), and they now aim for four consecutive away wins in Ligue 1, something they've never achieved to start a season. Marseille’s attacking prowess is evident, with 15 goals so far—their best start since 1954/55—though they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 24 away league matches.

This fixture is likely to be another thrilling encounter, with both teams having been involved in high-scoring games this season. Strasbourg will rely on their home form and Emegha’s sharpness, but Marseille's attacking strength, especially on the road, gives them the edge. Marseille’s defensive vulnerabilities may allow Strasbourg to score, but the visitors' firepower should secure a win, continuing their unbeaten run.
