Marseilles vs Lens Free Betting Tips – Ligue 1

The first of two late matches for Olympique de Marseille will be played this Wednesday against RC Lens. At the Stade Vélodrome, André Villas-Boas’ men will try to reverse a very negative dynamic for several weeks, with only 1 victory in the last 6 days, while they had chained 6 consecutive successes between mid-October and mid-December. Sixth with 32 points, the Phocéens saw their potential lead melt like snow in the sun and mathematically cannot return to the podium, even with 2 wins. Teams like Rennes and Monaco, which have reversed the trend and continue the positive results, even have 36 points and could stay ahead if the Marseillais were to stumble against the Lensois or the Niçois.

For its part, RC Lens almost logically marks time after an impressive first part of the season for a promoted. While they found the L1 for the first time since 2015, the Sang et Or have indeed occupied the first third of the standings for a long time, before experiencing a slack since mid-December. With only one victory in the last 5 days, the Lensois are now 10th with 28 points, far from the red zone (+13 points) while maintenance remains the club’s number one objective!

Everything is possible at this meeting. By bowing at home to the red lantern, Nîmes, OM showed that on a bad night, they could lose to any Ligue 1 team. But on a good night, the Marseillais did not show any longer the same face at all. In view of their excitement at home, we are counting on a meeting with goals from both sides, the Lensois typically deploying the style of play that can undermine the Marseille team!
