1 vs. 2

Tomorrow is a highly anticipated match up of 1 vs. 2. Marseille is sitting pretty in first place as of today by just one measly point though. St-Etienne has been in first place all season until last weekend when they lost to a very tough Bordeaux side 1-0. Marseille jumped them with a 2-0 win over Caen. Marseille have steadily been climbing the tables all season long and finally reached the peak just in time to make this game one of the most anticipated games of the season.

St-Etienne's player to watch out for is suprisingly not who you would think. Ilan is the player to look out for as he is the teams leading goalscorer and he is also in the race for the golden boot award. He has put 8 into the net so far in 16 matches. Gomis will also be there for support but he has not been on fire as of lately. Gomis has scored only 5 goals this season compared to his 16 of last season.

St-Etienne's player to watch: Ilan

Marseille's player to watch would be Djibril Cisse. He has shown his best lately scoring 4 of his 7 goals in the past 4 games. If you tuned in last week you saw Cisse score a dramatic goal in double OT of the Coupe Nationale to send Marseille throw to the 3rd round. If everything stays the same he should put atleast one in tomorrow against St-Etienne. His teamate Ben Arfa is also tied on the score sheet with 7 but he has cooled off since the beggining of the season. He will still play an important role in the game tomorrow.

Marseille's player to Watch: Djibril Cisse

The host stadium will be Stade Geoffroy Guichard. The stadium management have made sure all the precautions will be planned out before the match. There will be more police than normal to keep the fans from rioting and starting fights before and after the match. A board member has said that they just want this to be a good match and everything go well, but we know how some of the crazed fans can be during big matches. Marseille should arrive at the stadium two hours before kickoff to make sure no mishaps come up.

PREDICTIONS?
