Friday's Football Bet of the Day 

Strasbourg or draw double chance

Strasbourg vs Marseille
Ligue 1, 7.45pm Friday

Liam Rosenior was sacked by Hull after narrowly missing out on the Championship playoffs in 2023-24 but he is enjoying the next chapter of his managerial career at Strasbourg.

Rosenior's men have won four of their first five matches in Ligue 1 this season and their only setback was a 3-2 defeat away to Monaco, whose winner came in the 96th minute. 

Strasbourg, who beat Brondby last month to seal a place in the Conference League proper, can add to their points tally in Friday's home fixture against Marseille.

The visitors have been mixing in good company recently, losing 2-1 to Real Madrid in the Champions League last week before Monday's 1-0 league win over European champions Paris Saint-Germain.

However, manager Roberto De Zerbi will serve a touchline ban at Strasbourg after his late red card against PSG and his Marseille side suffered 1-0 defeats at Rennes and Lyon in their first two away games this term.
