Strasbourg welcome Marseille to the Stade de la Meinau in what promises to be a tightly contested Ligue 1 fixture among two of the top six league sides.

Historically, Marseille hold the upper hand in this fixture. Despite that, Strasbourg have become increasingly difficult to beat over the past couple of seasons, especially at home. They are currently unbeaten in six consecutive H2H fixtures and more importantly avoided defeat against Marseille in the last three home matches at Stade de la Meinau.
Strasbourg team overview
Judging by their first five fixtures, Strasbourg’s form has been highly encouraging. They have secured four wins from a possible five and displayed strong defensive resolve at home, where they are yet to concede at Stade de la Meinau. Currently on a two-match winning streak in Ligue 1, they have combined defensive stability with attacking efficiency, as shown in their victories over Le Havre (1-0) and Paris FC (3-2). Joaquin Panichelli and Emanuel Emegha have both contributed important goals, helping the team maintain momentum and keep pressure on the top sides in the league.
Strasbourg have a couple of absentees heading into this game: Rabby Nzingoula is unavailable through suspension, while Sebastian Nanasi has a shoulder issue and will not feature.

Marseille team overview
Marseille have made a respectable start to the 2025/26 Ligue 1 campaign, producing some scintillating football at times, although inconsistency remains an issue. In certain games they have looked sharp and creative, while in others their attack has been almost completely ineffective. Three of their five victories so far have been memorable in different ways. After a 1-0 defeat to Rennes on the opening day, Marseille bounced back emphatically with a 5-0 demolition of newcomers Paris FC. However, they stumbled again the following week with another narrow 1-0 loss.
De Zerbi’s men returned from the international break with renewed energy, delivering a dominant 4-0 performance against Lorient. Despite falling 2-1 to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, Marseille responded with a statement 1-0 victory over reigning Ligue 1 champions PSG last weekend. Yet their away form remains a concern: they are still winless on the road and have yet to score a single away goal, often struggling when key players are absent or when opponents apply aggressive high pressing.
The visitors also have a couple of important players missing for Friday’s fixture: Geoffrey Kondogbia is out with a calf strain, Rubén Blanco is sidelined due to a knee issue, while Hamed Traore is unavailable with a leg injury.

Prediction
Given the current form, injury lists, and head-to-head history, this looks like a close encounter. Strasbourg will be confident at home and hope to exploit Marseille’s defensive gaps, especially early on. Marseille possess greater attacking quality and experience, and they will likely press Strasbourg to force errors and seize opportunities in key moments.
A realistic prediction would be a narrow 1-1 draw, with both teams scoring but. If Strasbourg can maintain defensive discipline and capitalise on set-pieces or counterattacks, they might avoid defeat, therefore we give them a double chance x1.
Three reasons we expect Double chance x1
- Strasbourg are level on points with PSG, AS Monaco and Lyon after five Ligue 1 matches - they have won 4 out of a possible 5 league outings.
- Marseille have lost both away fixtures in Ligue 1 this season - they are also yet to score on the road.
- Strasbourg are unbeaten in 6 consecutive H2H fixtures against Marseille.
