Olympique Marseille Bastia betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a match between two teams that are having very different campaigns, and that reach this previous round with different objectives. Bastia needs 3 points to not get relegated and Olympique is only playing to secure 5th place. The home team has a reasonable defense and a great attack, that is great in long range shots and counter attacks. Bastia has the second worst attack, as they struggle to maintain ball possession and in finishing. So as this will be a strong team against a team that is almost relegated, it is a great option to back a high scoring match.
