Marseille vs Strasbourg live preview Ligue 1

Marseille：

Marseille faced a resilient challenge from fifth-tier Thionville in the Coupe de France, struggling to break through in the first half. However, a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lob eventually secured a narrow 1-0 victory, setting up a fourth-round clash against Rennes later this month. Despite the unconvincing win, Marseille ended 2023 on a strong note, enjoying a six-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1 and sitting sixth in the table. Gennaro Gattuso's team boasts an impressive defensive record at home, conceding only two goals in Ligue 1 matches at the Orange Velodrome in the current season.

Strasbourg：

Strasbourg, on the other hand, showcased dominance in their Coupe de France match against Avoine, securing a convincing 4-0 win with goals from Kevin Gameiro, Moise Sahi Dion, and debutant Mohamed Bechikh. Building on their successful end to 2023, Strasbourg won three consecutive Ligue 1 fixtures against Le Havre, Lorient, and Lille, moving up to ninth in the standings. Despite a previous winless streak, Patrick Vieira's side faces defensive challenges on the road, having conceded 13 goals away from home in the current season. Strasbourg aims to overcome their 10-match winless streak against Marseille, with both sides having drawn in their two meetings during the 2022-23 campaign.

Analysis：

Marseille faced an underwhelming performance in the Coupe de France, partly due to the absence of key players called up for the Africa Cup of Nations, including Amine Harit, Pape Gueye, Ismaila Sarr, and others. Captain Valentin Rongier is out for the month recovering from knee surgery, and Joaquin Correa may not be fit for the upcoming match due to an ankle issue. Limited senior options for changes leave Gattuso with challenges, but Pau Lopez is expected to return as the goalkeeper. Strasbourg, with only one player, Saidou Sow, at AFCON, welcomes back Lucas Perrin from suspension, but Lebo Mothiba, Thomas Delaine, and Ismael Doukoure remain sidelined with injuries.
