Marseille vs Ajax match tip
Over 2.5 goals @ 4/7 with Midnite
Marseille have been the team to watch in the Europa League this season, with 16 goals scored in their four games so far. It isn’t as if that total has been held up by one goal fest either. Only one of Marseille’s four games have seen fewer than three goals scored, the 2-0 win over AEK Athens last time out.
Marseille vs Ajax odds
Despite their domestic struggles, Marseille are looking bound for the round of 16 after going unbeaten in their opening four Europa League games. Gennaro Gattuso’s side began with back-to-back draws — including an entertaining 3-3 opening round draw at Ajax — before registering consecutive wins over AEK Athens, leaving them top of Group B. However, Marseille are only one point ahead of Brighton with two matches remaining. Ajax, meanwhile, are struggling. The record Dutch champions were unbeaten heading into matchday three (two draws) but have since lost twice on the bounce against Brighton leaving them bottom of the group on two points.
