Olympique Marseille Lens betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be for Marseille not to win. It is true that the home club has better players, however, Lens has been a surprise in this start of the championship, having added very important victories. Note that the visiting club has already beaten, for example, Lille and Monaco. Thus, it is expected that Lens can make life as difficult as possible for Marseille and end up winning at least one point in this round.

Preview
Olympique Marseille and Lens face at Orange Vélodrome, in a match for the 8th round of the Ligue 1.

Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Marseille

After 4 wins and 2 draws, the home team is in the 2nd position, havinf won 14 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Angers SCO by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have won (2‑0) at home, against Rennes. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium, with 34 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Olympique Marseille has won 8 and tied 2.

They haven’t lost any of the last 6 matches for this competition. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 38 of the last 42 have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

Marseille comes to this clash after a 0-0 away draw against Angers. The home team usually plays in a 5-2-3, favoring a style of play in constant transitions from defense to attack, with the three most advanced players being Luis Henrique, Gerson and Bamba Dieng, with emphasis on the last one being an extremely fast striker. The man responsible for giving a touch of class to his team's attacking attacks is Frenchman Amine Harit, a player who has above-average technical ability. Coach Jorge Sampaoli should not be able to count on Dimitri Payet as he has muscle problems in his thigh.

Confirmed Lineup: Pau López, William Saliba, Luan Peres, Leonardo Balerdi, Mattéo Guendouzi, Pape Alassane Gueye, Gerson, Dimitri Payet, Valentin Rongier, Cengiz Ünder, Cheikh Bamba Dieng.
Coach: André Villas-Boas.

Analysis Lens

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Lille, by (1‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Strasbourg, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Lens has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 34 of the last 38 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

Lens comes to this clash unmotivated after a home defeat, by 0-1, against Strasbourg. The away team can play in a 5-3-2, and should adopt a more defensive posture, with the goal of trying their best not to concede a goal caused by tactical errors. In this tactical formation, the two players who play the most offensive role are Ignatius Ganago and Wesley Said. The three men who will form the midfield trident are Cheick Doucouré, Yannick Cahuzac and Seko Fofana, with emphasis on the latter who is responsible for leading the offensive attacks of his team. The manager will not be able to count on central defender Kevin Danso as he is suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Jean-Louis Leca, Jonathan Gradit, Deiver Machado, Facundo Medina, Christopher Wooh, Cheick Oumar Doucouré, Seko Fofana, David Costa, Przemysław Frankowski, Florian Sotoca, Arnaud Muinga.
Coach: F. Haise.
