The opportunity is great. PSG's draw conceded Friday evening at home against Strasbourg (3-3) offers the opportunity to OM, third in the
ranking Saturday morning, to take the lead in Ligue 1 after a
8th day which will end on Sunday with Nantes-Lille.

To do this, the Marseille players must beat Le Havre on Saturday evening at the Vélodrome stadium. Which, as it stands, constitutes a mission within the reach of the men coached by Roberto De Zerbi, winners of all home matches since the start of the season, Champions League included.

Leonardo Balerdi and his teammates also have a series of four consecutive victories in the Championship, with notable performances against PSG (1-0) and Strasbourg (1-2).

On the other hand, the Norman club, fourteenth, is not doing very well. The team coached by Didier Digard remains without success during the last four matches in Ligue 1: one defeat and three draws.

If OM were to get stuck against Le Havre, OL, in the event of success in Nice (Saturday from 5 p.m.), could also be propelled to the top of the Championship.
