It will be very interesting duel in both games as i rate 50-50 chances for both teams.
Young Boys are good squad and have some experienced players mixed with young ones that gives good options. On the other hand is Marseille that is tipical representative of France football. In 2005 they have also meet twice and Marseille won both legs.
23 Jul 05 Marseille v Young Boys 2-1
16 Jul 05 Young Boys v Marseille 2-3
I will base this pick on current form and results as i think that winner will be decide in France.
Young Boys have nice start in UEFA competition and in the league:
5 Aug Zurich - Young Boys 3-1
30 Jul Young Boys - Luzern 3-2
27 Jul Young Boys - FC Mika C 1-0
23 Jul Thun - Young Boys 0-0
19 Jul Young Boys - Basel 1-1
13 Jul FC Mika - Young Boys 1-3 W
Only one lose vs inspired Zurich.
Marseille on the other hand will be trying to record first victory in this season as they have 3 draws so far:
6 Aug Sedan - Marseille 0-0
22 Jul Dnipro - Marseille 2-2
15 Jul Marseille - Dnipro 0-0
Based on results and on scenes from game OFK Beograd vs Auxerre i simply think that Young Boys will not lose this one at home. Auxerre was awful at Belgrade. So i think that France clubs are not yet fully in form.
Prediction: Young Boys +0.5
Stake: 10/10
Odds: 1.79
