Olympique Marseille form and stats

Perfect Ligue 1 season at home so far for Olympique Marseille 3 wins from 3 appearances.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Pau Lopez Sabata not having conceded a league goal in 282 minutes.

The followers hope that Olympique Marseille will strike back in this game, putting things right after the 0-2 away defeat in the Champions League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur. Guendouzi, an attacker, was the highest rated player for the team in that match, earning a rating of 7.61 (out of 10). Guendouzi had 46 successful passes (of 54 total).

In the game before, an away victory in the Ligue 1 match versus Auxerre with a 2-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Olympique have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Champions League game versus Eintracht Frankfurt in only three days. This game is also played here at Orange Vélodrome.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Olympique Marseille's attacking play is working. Olympique Marseille are not conceding a lot of goals here at Orange Vélodrome in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Lille form and stats

The seven points Lille have gathered from their first three away trips in the Ligue 1 is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Lille are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Two away games in a row for Lille, whose manager Fonseca could celebrate last time after the win against Montpellier. The attacker David got a match rating of 8.84 in that game. David scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 23 successful passes (of 27 total).

A 1-2 loss hosting Nice before that.

Lille are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. From a total of 5 matches.

Will both teams score? This side's fresh statistics suggest that, having played 6 league games in a row with one or more goals from each team.

Lille have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 7 goals from 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Lille have pulled off a sequence of 4 consecutive matches without defeat (2-2-0) when facing Olympique.
