Football tips for 13 Mar 2026: analysis of 3 promising matches from top 3 leagues, today's football schedule. Today’s fixtures.
On 13 March 2026, football tips return focusing on Europe's major leagues: England's Championship, Spain's La Liga, and France's Ligue 1. Follow the analysis and predictions for three key matches as follows.
- France Ligue 1 / Kick-off at 02:45
"OM," the home team, has lost only once at home this season (0-2 to Nantes on 4 January) and remains unbeaten at home within 90 minutes under new coach Abib Bay. In their first meeting this season, Marseille won 1-0 away at Auxerre on 1 November. Their last two league games saw wins against Lyon (3-2) and a narrow 1-0 victory at Toulouse. Only two players are injured. Mason Greenwood, who has scored 25 goals in all competitions this season, will lead the attack alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (12 goals) and Igor Paixão (11 goals).
The visitors, Auxerre, have been hard to beat recently, losing only one of their last six games (1 win, 4 draws). However, they sit just two points above the automatic relegation zone, above Nantes. Concerningly, they have not scored any home goals since the start of 2026 and have the fewest goals in the league with 19. Yet, they have collected 5 points from their last three away matches (1 win, 2 draws). Five players are injured, which could weaken their squad against Marseille, making it unlikely they will take points back.
Prediction Marseille to enjoy victory.
- England Championship / Kick-off at 03:00
Wrexham nearly eliminated Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round but eventually lost in extra time. They then lost 1-2 at home to Hull City, marking their fifth home defeat in 19 league matches this season. With only a 5-point gap from Swansea, Wrexham risks dropping out of the top six playoff spots for promotion to the Premier League. Their last six home games include three losses. Top scorer Kiefer Moore (13 goals) is injured, so the team relies on Josh Windass (10 goals) and Nathan Broadhead (8 goals).
Visitors Swansea City have had a poor away record this season, losing 11 of 18 matches, worse only than West Bromwich and Sheffield Wednesday (13 losses). However, their recent form has improved with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the last five games, thanks to the influence of Vítor Matos, a former staff member under Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool. Since Matos took charge on 24 November, Swansea have won 11 of 22 matches and conceded just 22 goals in 21 games. They have a good chance to earn a point on the road.
Prediction Wrexham and Swansea to draw.
- Spain La Liga / Kick-off at 03:00
Villarreal aims to overtake Atlético Madrid, who share 54 points, before facing Getafe on Saturday. Since being eliminated from the Champions League group stage, Villarreal's last seven games have been respectable with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Their away record ranks fourth in the league with 6 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in 13 matches. However, they have not won in their last four visits to Alavés (3 losses, 1 draw). Six players are injured, including Ayoze Pérez. They will depend on key scorers Alberto Molero (9 goals) and Georges Mikautadze (8 goals).
Home side Alavés is struggling, having not won in their last six matches across all competitions and winless in five league games (3 losses, 2 draws). Their home record this season is moderate, with 5 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in 13 matches. In their last meeting away on 11 January, they lost 1-3. Currently, Jon Pacheco and Ander Guevara are suspended after red cards in the recent 2-3 loss at Valencia. Although Víctor Parada and Pablo Ibáñez have returned from suspension, Alavés is likely to lose to Villarreal.
Prediction The Yellow Submarine to snatch a narrow 3-point win.
