The schedule leaves no respite for Olympique de Marseille. Beaten on Wednesday on their lawn, in the Champions League, by Liverpool (3-0), the Marseille team continued with the reception of the championship leader. A high-stakes meeting, as Lens begins to establish itself permanently at the top of Ligue 1.
Before this setback, OM had regained confidence. Roberto De Zerbi’s men scored 14 goals in two matches, in the Coupe de France then in the championship, against opponents within their reach. Capable of hanging on to Paris SG in the Champions Trophy, the Olympians are however struggling to continue in Ligue 1, letting valuable points slip away against supposedly inferior teams. Facing Lens, which already has an eight-point lead, Marseille will have to deliver a successful match, particularly on the defensive level, to contain a Lens attack led by Florian Thauvin, back at the Vélodrome.
Opposite, RC Lens advances with confidence. Undefeated in all competitions since the end of October, the Lensois have had a string of successes and are approaching this trip with the ambition of achieving an eleventh consecutive victory. A dynamic which confirms the collective solidity of the leader, now expected to be a real contender for the title.
