OM have already conceded four goals while in numerical superiority since the start of the season. No team has done worse.

Saturday evening, Olympique de Marseille could not do better than a draw (2-2) at the Stade Vélodrome, against AS Monaco, during the 19th day of Ligue 1. The Marseille players, however, were quickly found themselves in numerical superiority.

Indeed, Guillermo Maripán was sent off in the eleventh minute of play for having lightly restrained Vitinha with his arm. Worse, the club coached by Gattuso finished the match eleven to nine, after Denis Zakaria also received a red card four minutes before the end of regulation time. According to OptaJean, since the start of the season, Marseille has played 247 minutes in numerical superiority in Ligue 1. This is at least 107 more than any other team, specifies the statistician, indicating that the Olympian club has only won one only of the four matches concerned where OM remained in superiority until the end of the match.

OM is currently stagnating in seventh place in the championship. On Sunday, the southern club will travel to the Olympique Lyonnais pitch for the clash of the twentieth day of Ligue 1.
