High-flying Marseilles 9/2 to win the French Ligue 1 title this season

Competition: Ligue 1
Market: Marseilles to win the title
Odds: 9/2 @ 888 Sport

Olympique Marseilles are enjoying a fantastic start to the season under new manager Marcelo Bielsa, with L’OM currently top of the pack after 19 games. They are three points clear of defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, but have a lot of work still to do.

Marseilles have been top since the middle of September, but saw their form take a recent hit after dropping points in four of their last nine games, including an away defeat to PSG. But Bielsa’s men are still sitting pretty at the summit, and the supporters are dreaming of a first league title in five years.

888 Sport are backing the pacesetters with odds of 9/2 to win the Ligue 1 crown, with Paris Saint-Germain having been the dominant force in French football for the last two seasons. Marseilles have finished in the top-two of the league in five of the last eight campaigns, but with only one title win since 1992, sitting at the summit at come May would be a fantastic moment for the non-fancied club.
