Lorient

Lorient need a response after a run of poor results in their last 5 league games. In those games, they recorded 3 defeats and 2 draws. Most recently they played a 1:1 draw with Toulouse last weekend.

 At the moment Lorient are 16th on the league table, with 12 points from 14 matches. Their overall stats are 2 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats.

   A win for Lorient will be crucial if they are serious about making it out of the relegation zone but coming up against Marseille might be a tough task for the team.

   In their 1:1 draw against Toulouse last weekend, Ahmad Bamba Dieng scored the vital equalizer in the 91st minute to help Toulouse earn a point. By the end of the game, they had 48% possession, 5 shots on target and 4 corner kicks.

    Lorient will hope to break the jinx against Marseille in this match. Their last 10 meetings against Marseille had ended in a defeat or a draw since their 5-3 win back in 2014.

Olympique Marseille

Marseille have the records and momentum to grab another win against Lorient. They are beginning to get back to their best after back-to-back wins in the league against Stade Rennes and Lyon. And a win over strugglers Lorient would make a whole lot of sense for Marseille.

   Marseille were on fire last weekend when they faced Olympique Lyon at home. Vitinha got them off to a bright start with an opening goal in the 21st minute and then Michael Murillo doubled their lead 4 minutes later. Finally Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored Marseille’s third and final goal in the 55th minute to seal the 3:0 win over Lyon.

   If Marseille are in the same level as they were against Lyon, they should dispose of Lorient in this game. Their record against Lorient also looks strong as they remain unbeaten by Lorient in their last 10 meetings.

   Marseille are currently ranked 8th with 20 points from 14 matches. They have recorded 5 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats so far this season.

Olympique Marseille dominates the head-to-head with 12 wins from 20 matches played. While Lorient had 3 wins and 5 matches ended in a draw.
