The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses in the Ligue 1. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Olympique have lost on their last two travels.

Olympique had fun at their own home (Stade Gaston-Gérard) last time out, beating Montpellier 3-1. Valère Germain, Dimitri Payet and Nemanja Radonjić scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Angers SCO wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Olympique has another fixture away, a Super Cup game, against Paris Saint Germain in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
