Basel vs Marseille Prediction & Tips
With the annulment of the double away goals rule, the knockout phase of international competitions has become very hot. Sebastiano Esposito’s 79th-minute goal in the first leg between Marseille and Basel has revived the Swiss’s enthusiasm, but they will no longer be able to qualify with a 1-0 home win but will have to score two goals against the French side, thus exposing themselves to a potentially lethal counter-attack from the visitors. OM, however, are not a team capable of making too many calculations, so they are unlikely to contain. We expect a very open and probably spectacular game, even if the stakes are high. But Marseille have the most to lose…
Yes, because the French side have all the odds stacked against them and will need to keep their qualification objective…
The 2-1 win in the first leg of the season does not leave the visitors in any doubt, however, that they will have to play their game.
Since the group stage of this Conference League, Basel have scored at least one goal in every game they have played.
And in their three matches so far, they have never scored less than three goals (a total of ten in their three matches in the competition).
Marseille’s attack has been particularly inspired of late, as evidenced by the four goals they scored against Brest in the last game of the season.
It will be tough for the French, because Basel is a tough opponent and will be supported by the warmth of their fans. Therefore, it is possible that the Swiss will play a courageous match. On the other hand, Marseille could take advantage of the spaces left by the opponents and hit back. We bet on the goal option.
