Clermont Foot's fight for survival in the French top flight continues on Saturday night when they take on struggling Marseille.
The hosts achieved their best result in Ligue 1 last season with 8th place, but have not been able to replicate that form this season. Pascal Gastien's side sit at the bottom of the league standings, having secured just 17 points from 23 games and enter weekend's fixture with a run of six games without a win in all competitions.
Marseille are another French side who are having a season to forget. Gennaro Gattuso's side finished third last season, but the departure of big names such as Alexis Sánchez, Dimitri Payet and Cengiz Ünder left many gaps that need to be filled.
Clermont Foot vs Marseille Betting Tips: Marseille to win
Clermont Foot can take comfort from the fact that they haven't lost either of their last two games at this venue, but their record against Marseille doesn't look good. Pascal Gastien's side have lost each of their last three meetings with Marseille and I don't think Saturday will be any different.
Moreover, Marseille have been in excellent form of late. Jean-Louis Gasset's side did not only win each of their last two matches but scored at least three goals in both games. Both teams hit the target in both games, which is why my correct score prediction for this weekend's tie is 2-1 in favour of the visitors.

Clermont Foot team news
Maximiliano Caufriez will be available to Clermont Foot head coach Pascal Gastien after serving his one match ban against Nice last weekend.
Johan Gastien, Maximiliano Caufriez and Cheick Oumar Konaté are just one yellow card away from suspension, but the hosts have no pressing issues.

Marseille team news
Valentin Rongier has been out for Marseille since November 2023 due to a broken kneecap and Saturday’s game will come too soon for the midfielder.
Rongier is joined on the visitors’ list of absentees by Bilal Nadir who picked up a cruciate ligament injury last month and is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
