This is the 118th edition of this fixture. Marseille hold a slight edge
with 42 victories; Bordeaux are only two behind, though. Throughout the
years this has always been a tough game to call.
Could one of the current crop of Marseille stars step up and fire OM to
victory and banish a 35 year drought? Bordeaux might not realise the
length of time they have kept Marseille winless, but they will hate to
give up their league position to the southerners.
The problem for Marseille is they have always struggled to win at the
Stade Chaban Delmas. The last time Marseille picked up three points in
wine country was way back in 1978. Bordeaux took the lead through Alain
Giresse and were pegged back by goals from Marc Berdoll and Victor
Zvunka.
Bordeaux 1 - 1 Marseille
