Lorient, Recent FormThe Lorient players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Lille recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 2 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Lille, who had 20 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Manager Régis Le Bris will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 5 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and he will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 10 their 17 home matches.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at Stade Yves Allainmat, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
Marseille, Recent FormMarseille manager Igor Tudor will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Montpellier. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Montpellier's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 9 games. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
The continued consistency shown by Les Olympiens away from home is exceptional, having been unbeaten in their last 9 league fixtures away from Stade Vélodrome, and currently on an impressive winning streak of 8 games on the trot.
Alexis Sánchez will be hoping to create problems for Lorient in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Marseille.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 3-1 win for Marseille.
Les Olympiens have managed to keep a clean sheet against Lorient in each of their previous 2 visits to Stade Yves Allainmat. In the past 15 away matches at Lorient in the league, Les Olympiens have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Marseille have shown they know their way around the Les Merlus defence having scored 14 times against them in those 5 matches. The Marseille defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Les Merlus in the league, with Marseille conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Marseille have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 7 times in a row when they have played Lorient in the league.
Dimitri Payet has scored on each of Marseille's last 0 visits to Lorient.
Lorient manager Régis Le Bris has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Bonke Innocent (Ankle), Gédéon Kalulu (Groin), Julien Laporte (Knee) and Yvon Mvogo (Tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Amine Harit (Cruciate ligament) and Azzedine Ounahi (Broken toe) both being out for the rest of the season Marseille manager Igor Tudor will be pleased that there are no other major fitness concerns amongst the rest of his squad ahead of this upcoming fixture.
