Marseille, Recent FormLast time out, Marseille went away feeling content with a 2-0 away win against Troyes They came away from that fixture with 68% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Troyes managed 5 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
With 16 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Igor Tudor will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, he will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late. Few teams have managed to keep Les Olympiens away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 6 league games.
Lorient, Recent FormLorient will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Monaco last time out. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Monaco's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Régis Le Bris will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 9 games. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 15 of their 18 league matches this season.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 6 games in a row.
Away from home in the league, Terem Moffi has given the Lorient travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 6 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
A defeat for Lorient in their last match against Marseille was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
The Les Merlus defence has struggled against Marseille in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 13 games. In their recent meetings Lorient have struggled to keep Les Olympiens at bay, having conceded 15 goals in their last 5 games.
Marseille will be looking to continue their winning streak against Lorient, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 8 meetings.
Dimitri Payet will be feeling confident of netting goals for Marseille in this one against Lorient with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Marseille manager Igor Tudor has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jonathan Clauss (Groin), Amine Harit (Cruciate ligament) and Dimitri Payet (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
