THE PREDICTION
Marseille come into this on the back of a 3-3 draw away to Montpellier last weekend. That is a result more fitting of Sampaoli’s tactical structure following a start of to nil defeats or to nil wins. An open and intense match in which Montpellier equalised in the 93rd minute after ten-man Marseille had taken a lead in the 71st minute. They come up against a Lorient side that were hammered 4-1 by Lens last weekend. They remain in danger of relegation and are on a run of one win in six matches in all competitions. The home team are comfortable favourites for this one.
