Toulouse vs Olympique Marseille Prediction and Betting Tips | April 21st 2024
The action continues in round 30 of the French Ligue 1 as Toulouse and Marseille square off at the Stadium de Toulouse on Sunday.
Jean-Louis Gasset’s men head into the weekend fresh off the back of reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Toulouse pulled 10 points clear of the relegation zone last weekend when they picked up a 2-1 victory over Stade Rennais at Roazhon Park.
Carles Martinez’s side have now gone three consecutive games without defeat, claiming two wins and one draw since losing successive games against Le Havre and Olympique Lyon back in March.
With 36 points from 29 matches, Toulouse are currently 11th in the Ligue 1 standings, level on points with 12th-placed Strasbourg.
Elsewhere, Olympique Marseille overturned a 2-1 first-leg defeat against Benfica to secure a penalty shootout victory over the Portuguese powerhouse in their Europa League quarter-final clash on Thursday.
Gasset will hope their midweek victory can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as the side return to Ligue 1 where they have lost their last three games since March’s 2-0 victory over Nantes.
Marseille are currently ninth in the Ligue 1 table, level on 39 points with 10th-placed Stade Rennais but could move into seventh place with all three points this weekend.
