Olympique Marseille will host Montpellier at the Orange Velodrome in the final matchday in Ligue 1 on Friday night.
The nine-time league champions of French football have struggled to climb back to the top.
Marseille won’t make it into the top four even if they claim all three points in this final game. Seven points separate them from fourth-placed Saint-Etienne, while a huge gulf of 33 points separates Rudi Garcia’s men from league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
However, they will be looking to end their league campaign on a high and get back to winning ways.
Bet365 backs the home side to come out on top on their turf at odds of (1.75).
The Olympians have won only two of their last nine games against Montpellier in Ligue 1 (D3, L4). The visitors will draw confidence from this record as they are backed at (4.00) odds with the same betting firm to do a double over Garcia’s men – having won the reverse fixture 3-0 at the Stade de la Mosson.
Daring punters can bank on Montpellier to continue their impressive record in this fixture by staking on Michel Der Zakarian’s side to come out of this game unbeaten - at odds of (2.10) with Bet365.
La Paillade will finish fifth in the Ligue 1 table if they avoid defeat against Marseille. This could be the first time they do finish in the top five in the French top-flight since their title win in 2011/2012.
Two out of the last three meetings between these two sides ended in a stalemate. A draw at the blast of the full-time whistle is priced at odds of (4.20).
