Still undefeated at home in Ligue 1 this season, OM are however struggling to make a difference away from home.
L’Olympic Marseille is still far from being completely healed, but he is breathing a little better than a week ago. Victorious over Ajax Amsterdam (4-3) then Stade Rennais (2-0), the Phocéens scored a third consecutive success by easily dominating an even sicker Lyon (3-0).
OM impresses at home
Finally able to string together two consecutive victories in Ligue 1, a first since April, Gennaro Gattuso’s men above all confirmed their solidity at the Stade Vélodrome. Still undefeated at home this season, the Marseillais have the second best record in Ligue 1 with five wins, two draws and only one goal conceded on the first day against Reims. They are also undefeated in Europe with three wins and one draw.

Running out of fuel outside
But if OM are still far from their objectives in the championship, it is because of their very worrying away results. The Azuréens have in fact still not won away from home in Ligue 1 since they have a record of three draws and four defeats, for a low record of three points in seven games, far from being enough to claim the podium. In Europe, however, they managed to win on the pitch of AEK Athens (2-0) on November 9. On Sunday, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his teammates will finally try to achieve success away from home on the pitch at Lorient, 16th in Ligue 1.
