Olympique Marseille manager J. Sampaoli Moya and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Angers SCO (placed 3rd) in the Ligue 1. Midfielder Boubacar Kamara was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.4 (out of ten) in that game. Kamara had 67 successful passes (of 75 total).
Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Rennes.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Galatasaray are coming to town in four days.

Midfield player Seko Fofana was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.31/10. Fofana dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 53 successful passes (of 57 total).
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Lille.Lens are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and two defeats. From a total of five matches.
