Marseille vs Strasbourg
The French Cup round-up match will feature a match between Marseille who plays host at Strasbourg in the Orange Vélodrome (Marseille). That match will not be easy for Marseille but it is also very difficult for Strasbourg, because the visitors just beat AS Monaco 1-3 but their previous meeting fell 2-0 against Marseille.
Strasbourg victory over AS Monaco was unexpected, although appearing to survive by utilizing counterattack but Strasbourg is more effective in taking advantage of opportunities. L. Ajorque, A. Thomasson and S. Mitrović were the goal scorers in the match and are expected to contribute again in this match. How to survive from Strasbourg must force Marseille coach André Villas-Boas racked his brain to penetrate the defense.
While the Marseille camp in the last match must play a goalless draw at home to Angers, even so that does not mean the home team is down even Marseille still recorded an unbeaten run in the last 12 matches in all competitions. Unlike Strasbourg, which picked 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 matches. Overall Marseille’s performance is far more satisfying.
Recalling Marseille’s victory over Strasbourg in the first round of France Ligue 1 last October, both teams appeared to attack in that match but Marseille took the lead thanks to a quick goal by B. Kamara in the 3rd minute then a goal at the end of the 90 + 3 minute by K. Strootman. Home advantage is back in favor of Marseille and then seeing their performance that is far different, most likely Strasbourg will collapse.
