Marseille, Recent FormMarseille manager Gennaro Gattuso will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Montpellier. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Montpellier, who had 12 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Gattuso will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 5 goals during those same matches. They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well at Stade Vélodrome recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Marseille, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Strasbourg, Recent FormStrasbourg will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Lille. In that game they recorded 32 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 9 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Patrick Vieira will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Emanuel Emegha will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Strasbourg.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Marseille will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Le Racing having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 13 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Marseille hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 16 meetings.
Strasbourg man Jean-Eudès Aholou will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Marseille, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at Stade Vélodrome.
With only Joaquín Correa (Ankle) and Valentin Rongier (Knee surgery) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gennaro Gattuso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Patrick Vieira has a number of injury concerns in his Strasbourg squad to contend with: Maxime Bastian (Muscle), Thomas Delaine (Knock), Ismaël Doukouré (Sprained ankle), Karol Fila (Cruciate ligament), Lebo Mothiba (Knee) and Gerzino Nyamsi (Muscle)
