Olympique Marseille form and stats

Overall Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Olympique Marseille are 4-3-3 (wins-draw-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Olympique, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Olympique travelled for their previous game, a trip to Lens that ended 2-2. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Monaco.

A disappointing finish for Olympique Marseille in their match versus Lens as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Olympique as they are travelling to their away game against Auxerre in the Coupe de France. That match is three days after this one.

Olympique Marseille have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Orange Vélodrome with 15 goals in 10 league matches. Olympique have conceded 12 in these home matches.
