Ligue 1, Friday, 25.08.2024 at 20:45
In my Marseille Reims betting tip, I show you the most suitable betting scenarios for this exciting Ligue 1 pairing. At the same time, I’m also going way ahead!
Because in my Marseille Reims prediction, I make no secret of the fact that I think the right man has now taken the helm at OM to lead the club back to the league throne for the first time since 2010
I’m coming out as someone who took advantage of bookmaker Betano’s comprehensive offer to place a €100 bet on OM to win Ligue 1 outright.
You might think that the arrivals and departures this summer are balanced, but in my opinion the new coach de Zerbi has brought much more quality into the team than has been lost through sales.
Replacing PSG at the top seems to me to be within the realms of possibility, especially as the odds of 11.00 for an overall win for Olympique promise a really great payout
In addition, OM have started the new season with a real bang: a 5:1 win against last year’s third-placed Brest.
With 5 shots on goal and 5 goals, OM made excellent use of their chances, while coach de Zerbi was also able to demonstrate his good touch on this occasion.
Three of the five goals were scored by Mason Greenwood and Elye Wahi, two players who were signed by the Italian just a few weeks ago and have immediately integrated into the team
Reims should not be a major obstacle for OM on their way to a possible surprise win in the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season, especially as Marseille have already won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head duels.
The Marseille Reims odds traded on the markets for a home win average at 1.60, which is an attractive level for a single bet even without an odds boost.
Incidentally, Stade Reims lost 2-0 to Lille the previous week and lost the central element in their 4-1-2-3 system after Koné was sent off.
The OM squad already had the potential to make a difference last season. But in my opinion, an unfortunate choice of coach prevented the team from fulfilling its potential.
Gennaro Gattuso, who once almost led Valencia to the second division, and Jean-Louis Gasset, who was sacked as coach of the Ivory Coast after the preliminary round of the Africa Cup 2024, had a major impact on OM in the 2023/24 season.
De Zerbi, on the other hand, has all the necessary skills to take Marseille on a real hussar ride through Ligue 1. Accordingly, I’m also making my bet on the Marseille vs Reims match aggressive
I’m not content with just a home win bet, but am deliberately taking the risk of a handicap bet.
The positive turnaround at Olympique cannot be denied: After initially going five consecutive point games without a win, OM have now won four of their last five Ligue 1 games.
Alternatively, I could also get excited about a half-time/final score bet along the lines of 1/1, which currently promises odds of around 2.20 in the Sunmaker app.
However, I won’t go for a one-nil win for the hosts, as the risk of conceding a goal seems too great to me.
Statistically speaking, it would be the first time since April 2023, i.e. 1 year and 4 months, that Stade Reims have gone two Ligue 1 games in a row without scoring a goal
Olympique Marseille are far from finished upgrading their squad. After a strong start to the season and the signing of players such as Mason Greenwood and Elye Wahi, OM are now turning their attention to Simon Banza.
The striker, who was demoted at Sporting Braga due to disciplinary problems, is on the move.
Marseille are planning to seize this opportunity and sign Banza for just 15 million euros – a real bargain for a player of his potential.
OM clearly shows: The team is on the rise.
Conclusion: I can’t emphasize enough in my Marseille Reims betting tip the serious consequences that Koné’s suspension will have for the visitors’ tactical approach.
The defensive midfielder plays a central role for Stade Reims, who may even have to abandon their beloved 4-1-2-3 system on Sunday.
OM, on the other hand, are hot as a bomb and ready to go up again!
In my eyes, Marseille are even ready for the Ligue 1 thriller against PSG on October 27.
My Marseille Reims tip: OM win with handicap -1.
