Marseille, Recent FormMarseille will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Lens. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Lens, who had 18 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Jean-Louis Gasset will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 7 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. They've had a decent home record this season, unbeaten in 15 of their 16 league games at Stade Vélodrome.
When it comes to home matches at Stade Vélodrome, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Marseille in their last 6 home games.
Lorient, Recent FormLorient will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Lens, given the latter currently sit 11 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they recorded 43 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 18 shots on goal.
Manager Régis Le Bris will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 2 goals, conceded 14, and picked up a meagre 0 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they've conceded at least one goal in their 15 most recent away games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Les Merlus, having gone without a win in their last 8 league games and lost the last 6 in a row.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Lorient, Mohamed Bamba will be looking to add more goals against Marseille in this match.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-4 win for Marseille.
The Les Merlus defence has struggled at Stade Vélodrome, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits. We have seen plenty of goals from Les Olympiens when they play at home against Lorient. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
Marseille has had a good run of league results at home to Lorient, winning their last 4 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 5.
With Bamo Meïté (Ankle) being out for the rest of the season and Valentin Rongier (Knee surgery) also unavailable in the shorter term, Marseille manager Jean-Louis Gasset will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
Régis Le Bris has a number of injury concerns in his Lorient squad to contend with: Quentin Boisgard (Foot), Bamba Dieng (Calf), Bonke Innocent (Thigh), Ayman Kari (Knee), Formose Mendy (Head) and Igor Silva (Knee)
