Olympique Marseille form and stats

4-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Olympique Marseille so far this season. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Olympique, their manager L. Pina Cabral Villas-Boas and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The home team returns to Orange Vélodrome after being equal after 90 minutes with Lens (placed 7th) on their last time out; the Ligue 1 game ended 2-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Monaco (1-3).

Opportunity lost for Olympique in the Lens match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

The manager L. Pina Cabral Villas-Boas will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Auxerre in only three days.

Olympique 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.
