Greenwood Finds Net Again, but Marseille’s Defensive Woes Burn Bettors

By Oddixa — 2026-02-17

Mason Greenwood extended his scoring streak with his 14th goal of the campaign, yet Marseille failed to secure the full three points in a frustrating draw against Strasbourg.

Despite a turbulent week behind the scenes, Mason Greenwood remains the most reliable asset in the Marseille attack. The English forward netted his league-leading 14th goal of the season, once again rewarding bettors who backed him in the 'Anytime Goalscorer' markets. Greenwood’s clinical finishing has made him a focal point for Ligue 1 player props, as he continues to outpace the league's elite strikers in terms of pure output.

However, from a match-result perspective, Marseille continues to be a risky proposition for those laying wood on the moneyline. Their inability to close out a lead against Strasbourg highlights a persistent lack of defensive structure that has plagued them throughout this chaotic stretch. For sports bettors, this trend points toward a high-value opportunity in the 'Both Teams to Score' (BTTS) and 'Over 2.5 Goals' markets, as Marseille’s elite offensive talent is frequently undermined by a backline that struggles to maintain a clean sheet.
