📊 Match Insights

The 2026-27 Ligue 1 season kicks off on Friday as Marseille hosts Strasbourg at the Stade Velodrome in southern France. Last season, Marseille finished fifth in the league with 59 points, while Strasbourg ended up in eighth place, six points behind. Bruno Genesio starts his tenure as Marseille's manager with high expectations, given his impressive track record in Ligue 1. The seasoned French coach has consistently led his teams to European qualifications throughout this decade, often finishing in the top five. He takes over a Marseille team that dropped three spots compared to their position in the 2024-25 season, accumulating six fewer points last year. OM has the chance to extend their unbeaten streak at Stade Velodrome to four matches in Ligue 1, having won two of their last three home games last season. They have not lost any of their last five opening home fixtures in Ligue 1, including a 5-2 victory over Paris FC in their last season opener. Marseille scored the joint-third highest number of goals in Ligue 1 last season (63), finding the net in all but one home match at Stade Velodrome. Hugo Oliveira will also be making his Ligue 1 debut on Friday, as he aims to guide Strasbourg back to European competition by the end of the season.
