The Atmut atlantique is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Bordeaux and Marseille go at each other in the French Ligue 1 this Friday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Although Marseille are unbeaten in the last five meetings against Bordeaux, we've seen them pick up only two wins during this spell with the remaining three ending in stalemates including their most recent four-goal thriller.

Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards

It hasn't been a season to remember for Bordeaux as they head into the second half of the season with just 17 points to their name after 19 league games. Vladimir Petkovic and his troops have started the new year on the wrong foot, losing to Stade Brestois in the French Cup. This does look like a blessing in disguise as they can now focus on getting themselves out of the relegation zone with the side managing just one win in their last seven league matches.

Marseille missed the chance to go into the new year in the second position, dropping points in a 1-1 draw at home against Stade Reims. As it stands, they currently occupy 3rd position, level on points with Nice whilst being two points ahead of 4th placed Stade Rennes. Jorge Sampaoli and his troops kicked off the new year with a routine victory against US Chauvigny in the French Cup courtesy of goals from Milik, Under and Harit. Would they continue in such a manner as they look to book themselves a place in the UEFA Champions League Group stage next season ?
