Marseille vs Toulouse Match Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Marseille are at 11/20 to win, a draw is at 3/1, and a Toulouse win is at 5/1.

Marseille have been installed as significant favorites in this match, but it is hard to see why exactly they are such big favorites to the bookmakers.  They have not enjoyed much success of late against Toulouse, and this match will be a true proving ground for them to see if they can shake off that.

Toulouse have done well with Marseille, pushing them very far in each encounter, and that could easily continue here.  They are certainly going to be underdogs away from home, and due to being behind Marseille, but they are a good punt at those odds for sure.

Toulouse, though, are not favored here as they are giving up the second most shots in the league per game at 15.5.  This means the enemy are getting in behind and getting chances, and eventually you will get hurt conceding so much space and chance to the opposition.  

Marseille -1 is at 6/4.

Marseille have began the new season in up and down form, and that has largely been very disappointing to fans all over the world. Especially after a strong end to the season last term, it was hoped that they could go on and fight for the top three this term. They still might, as they are just three points back currently in sixth place, but they have got to show consistency. They should be able to defeat Toulouse, but to do so they will have to overcome so flawed recent history against them.
Each of the last six matches played between these teams have ended in either a draw or an extra time victory for one of the two sides.
