Olympique Marseille

Premium Tips
Marseille’s winning run and a midfielder in fine scoring form.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Marseille to win | 19/10 (bet365) | Marseille have won their last four Ligue 1 games, scoring 13 goals in the process. They also won 1-0 at Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League on Thursday. Away from home, they scored seven goals in their last two league trips, at Troyes and Angers. Lens, by contrast, have conceded in all nine of their league games this season. They also shipped nine goals at home to Como on Wednesday. With confidence high on one side and fragile on the other, bet365’s 19/10 stands out. |
| Himad Abdelli to score anytime | 19/4 (Coral) | Himad Abdelli scored in three straight league games against Troyes, Angers and Le Havre before the Toulouse win. He has three league goals from just nine shots, so he makes his chances count. Abdelli also started in Leverkusen on Thursday, which suggests he remains central to Marseille’s plans. Furthermore, Lens have not kept a clean sheet in Ligue 1 all season. Coral’s 19/4 is the standout price, with most other firms nearer 7/2. That gap makes him our value pick. |

How Lens go into the game
Sitting ninth on 13 points, Lens have won four, drawn one and lost four of their nine Ligue 1 games. Their league form was decent until a 1-0 defeat at Lille last time out. Before that, they had beaten Lyon 2-1, Troyes 3-1 and Paris FC 2-1.
However, Wednesday’s 9-1 home loss to Como was a huge blow. It was their third straight Champions League defeat, following a 3-0 loss at Club Brugge. In Ligue 1, they have won three of four home games, scoring nine goals. Their only home league defeat was a 1-0 loss to Lorient.
Florian Thauvin leads the way with four league goals, three of them penalties, plus seven assists. Meanwhile, Odsonne Edouard is a doubt with adductor pain. Abdallah Sima (leg), Jhoanner Chavez (thigh), Ismaelo Ganiou (knee) and Maik Nawrocki (cruciate ligament) are all listed as injured.
How Marseille go into the game
Marseille are sixth on 15 points, two clear of Lens. They have won five and lost four, without a single draw. However, all four defeats came in their first five league games.
Since then, they have won four in a row, beating Troyes 2-0, Angers 5-2, Le Havre 4-3 and Toulouse 2-0. They also won 1-0 at Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League on Thursday. On the road in Ligue 1, they have won two and lost two.
Amine Gouiri is the club’s top scorer with six league goals and three assists. Amine Harit and Abdelli have three goals each. Emerson Palmieri is a doubt with a knee issue, while Derek Cornelius (hip) and Keyliane Abdallah (knock) are also struggling.
