Amiens at Marseille 5/19/18 - Ligue 1 Picks & Predictions

In the final Match-day of the French Ligue 1 there are numerous interesting match-ups, so let’s take a look at a team that is fighting to climb up a spot. Marseille will play host to Amiens on Saturday, looking only for a win in order to have a shot at a Champions League ticket for next season. Amiens have been saved and are actually playing really good right now.

Marseille (21-5-11) met a really bad loss in the Europa League final, where they were destroyed by 0-3 in the hands of Atletico Madrid. They did have some good moments in that match, but they were inferior. In their last league match, they almost suffered a heart-attack against Guingamp on the road, but they pulled even at the 81st minute for the final 3-3. They are now sitting at the 4th spot of the Ligue 1 with 74 points, at the spot that leads to the Europa League next season. They are just one point behind Lyon and the Champions League ticket, so they will need to overcome their psychology and hope for the best. Amiens (12-16-9) have been in spectacular form over the past couple of months, as they have lost just one of their last nine matches (4-1-4). They are coming off a solid 0-2 win at home against Metz, while prior to that they had held PSG and Monaco to draws. Amiens have saved their season with that solid run, as they are now sitting at the 12th spot with 45 points, still eleven points ahead of the relegation zone. They have not been very good on the road so far (4-10-4) but have lost just one of their last five (2-1-2).
