Olympique de Marseille welcomes RC Lens for the 31st day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
This time, OM no longer has a joker. Five days after a frustrating draw against OGC Nice (2-2), the Marseille club faces a new direct competitor to try to get back on track in this unsustainable race for Europe. The carrot is good for the Gasset gang. If successful against Lens, the Marseillais could come back to within two points of their opponent. A numerical reality reminding us that OM’s greatest chance lies in the failures of its competitors, who are also progressing slowly.
The reasoning therefore applies to RC Lens, far from being as dashing as at the same time last season. Franck Haise’s team is in 6th place in the standings, two places behind its host of the day. A success at the Vélodrome would allow him to distance himself, while putting pressure on the top 5. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
OM : Lopez – Clauss, Gigot, Balerdi, Garcia – Veretout, Kondogbia, Ounahi – Ndiaye, Aubameyang, Luis Henrique
Lens : Samba – Aguilar, Danso, Medina – Frankowski, Diouf, El-Aynaoui, Machado – Sotoca, Wahi, Da Costa
