Marseille, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Nice in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Marseille last time out. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Nice who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Jean-Louis Gasset will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Marseille will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
When home matches come round at Stade Vélodrome, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Marseille's last 6 home league matches.
Lens, Recent FormHaving secured a 1-0 home win against Clermont Foot in their latest league match, Lens will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They came away from that fixture with a 48% share of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Clermont Foot, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row, and in this season's away games, they've recorded 8 clean sheets out of a possible 15.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Lens, Elye Wahi will be looking to add more goals against Marseille in this match.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Lens.
In the past 5 away matches at Marseille in the league, Les Sang et Or have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. Playing away from home, Lens have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Marseille.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Stade Vélodrome, Lens has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Marseille in 3 games.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Marseille manager Jean-Louis Gasset with Chancel Mbemba (Bruised knee), Quentin Merlin (Ankle), Valentin Rongier (Knee surgery) and Ismaïla Sarr (Hamstring) all unavailable for selection, and Bamo Meïté (Ankle) out for the rest of the season.
Franck Haise has a number of injury concerns in his Lens squad to contend with: Ruben Aguilar (Foot), Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament), Jhoanner Chávez (Thigh) and Wesley Saïd (Thigh)
