Marseille vs Troyes Match Analysis and Predction

After the suspension of their most recent Ligue 1 match with Lyon, Marseille will return to action on Sunday, as they welcome Troyes at the Stade Velodrome.

Before the dramatic events last week, Jorge Sampaoli’s team had gone five games undefeated to ascend to the 5th position in the Ligue  1 table, while Troyes are struggling in the bottom five.

In the latest events in the Ligue 1, Marseille’s encounter with Lyon last weekend was halted, when midfielder Dimitri Payet was the aim of a water bottle thrown from the stands after just four minutes, resulting to abandonment of the game.

Marseille had built a five-game undeafeated run in the league prior to that, however a failure to defeat Metz most recently will have been more disappointing than commendable draws with Paris Saint-Germain and Nice.

After the Lyon encounter, Marseille travelled to Galatasaray in the fifth round of Europa League group fixtures on Thursday, and despite Arkadiusz Milik brace in the second half, they fell to a 4-2 defeat, ensuring their exit from Europe’s secondary competition.

As they have turned all their attention back to the league, Les Olympiens will hope to forget last weekend and focus on pushing for a spot in the top four.

Troyes are heading into this game with an aim of bouncing back from back-to-back defeats, having quickly descended the table.

A surprise victory over Nice and a 2-1 win over Reims consecutively took Troyes points tally to 12 from 11 games after their promotion into Ligue 1.

They later earn a point through a 2-2 draw against third-placed Rennes, but have now lost consecutive matches heading to Sunday.

Currently placed level on points with Clermont Foot 63 in the relagation playoff spot, and just one point above the automatic drop zone, Troyes will be desperate to regain their form and remain ahead of the bottom three.

Dmitri Payet, who was hit by the projectile against Lyon will return and will support Arkadiusz Milik who scored a brace in the Galatasaray game.

Troyes news

Mama Balde will miss here through injury, and Karim Azamoum is a doubt and may not be risked. Yoann Touzghar will be relied upon in the absence of Balde.

Adil Rami is an experienced head in defence and will continue to play an important role in a back three.

Marseille come into this game on the back of a heavy defeat in the midweek, but should have the quality needed to earn points.

Troyes have had back-to-back defeats that may have depleated their confidence, which may make them a weaker side in this encounter.
