As I predicted earlier, siding with Auxerre would be very profitable. And the appearance of both teams was still the same as the previous meeting when Marseille played at home. Although in terms of ball possession and passing accuracy Marseille was very superior, Auxerre knew Marseille's weaknesses and was able to launch a slow attack but produced a winning score. I know that Marseille only played with 10 players, but Marseille still looked unimpressive from the start.
Why Marseille has been this inconsistent is one concern of mine because I saw them as a possible contender against PSG for the title this season but again they have had too many unpatterned approaches to their games such that some times you cannot even place expectations around them because of the fear of them not meeting it, they did showed off as a good team enough to really get points but it's actually heartbreaking that they are going off with such poor performance at this time they needed the productive performance the most.
