-----------------------------
Marseille host Auxerre at the Stade Velodrome on Matchday 26 of Ligue 1, aiming to move clear into third place after a narrow win over Toulouse. Auxerre, meanwhile, sit 16th in the table following a goalless draw with Strasbourg and remain close to the relegation zone.

Team Analysis:
Marseille have found renewed momentum in Ligue 1 with two straight wins and remain unbeaten at home in domestic matches since early January, keeping them firmly in the race for a Champions League spot. Auxerre, meanwhile, have shown signs of resilience with just one defeat in their last six games, though they remain close to the relegation zone despite recent points picked up away from home.

Player Situation:
Marseille have only one major concern ahead of the match, with Quinten Timber doubtful, while Mason Greenwood continues his strong form and sits joint-top of the Ligue 1 scoring chart with 14 goals. Auxerre, meanwhile, face several absences including Nathan-Buayi Kiala through injury and Lassine Sinayoko due to suspension, with a few others still doubtful.

Result Prediction:
Auxerre have shown determination in recent matches but continue to struggle in creating clear chances. Marseille are therefore expected to control the game and eventually find the breakthrough.

Predicted Result: Olympique Marseille 1-0 Auxerre.
