Lens vs Marseille

Lens will face Marseille for the 101st time in Ligue 1 (W39 D21 L40), only playing more against Monaco (107) and Bordeaux (104). RCL have won each of their last two home games against OM in L1 (2-1 in May 2023, 1-0 in November 2023), after not winning any of the previous four (D1 L3). RCL could string together three wins against OM for the third time in their history in the top-flight, after 1953-1963 (7) and 1977-1986 (6).

Having beaten Nantes 3-2 on the last matchday, Lens has not managed to string together two wins in a row since the first two games of the season and victories against Angers (1-0) and Brest (2-0).

Marseille scored 24 goals in Ligue 1 in 2024-25, their second highest tally after 11 matches in a season in the top-flight in the 21st century after 2014-15 (25 under Marcelo Bielsa).

Lens have conceded four goals in their last two home matches in Ligue 1 (0-2 v Lille, 3-2 v Nantes), which is more than in their previous seven (3).

Marseille have won six of their last seven away games in Ligue 1 (L1), twice as many as in the previous 21 (W3 D6 L12). Only Barcelona (6) have won more away games in the European Top 5 this season than OM (5 – also Bayern Munich).
