Basel - Marseille, Picks and Tips
Basel have lost only once in their matches this season, although they are no longer the same team that recorded European victories over teams like Manchester United and won the title on the trot in Switzerland. In the last round, in the return leg against Marseille, FC Basel received the replica of Servette. It was a 2-0 win, in a match that got easier from the 29th minute when the visitors saw red cards. The score was opened by Liam Chipperfield, the son of former FC Basel striker Scott Chipperfield, in the 69th minute. The visitors were left two goals down in the 85th minute, and then Basel scored once more through Adam Szalai. Basel's top scorer is Brazilian Cabral. He has 14 goals and five assists in league matches.
Olympique Marseille won the last round, away to Brest, to move back into second place. It was 4-1, a match dominated da capo al fine by OM, who had seven shots on Brest's goal space. Milik passed decisively for the first goal, by Gerson, and then the Polish striker put his name on the scoresheet as well. Harit was the third scorer, and the last to score for OM was Turkish Under, recently introduced to the turf. This put Marseille back in 2nd place, as Nice only finished in a draw. Sampaoli & co.'s objective is to finish the season in the Champions League, and for OM to return to the "rich table". Despite the frequent blips, Olympique Marseille is on track. It also has the first chance to qualify for the quarter-finals of the first edition of the Europa Conference League. They must not lose on Thursday night in Bern.
