Prediction: 2-2
Lens
Olympique Marseille and Lens square off against each other at Stade Velodrome in a highly-anticipated Ligue 1 game. OM aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Ajaccio and PSG, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Lens. Eric Bailly limped off with injury in the Ligue 1 derby, while fellow defender Samuel Gigot misses out through suspension. Experienced midfielder Dimitri Payet is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Montpellier. Lens are eager to overtake Lorient in second position, but beating OM on the road is easier said than done. In their last meeting at Stade Velodrome Lens defeated Marseille 3-2, but the share of spoils is on the cards this time out. Jonathan Gradit remains on the sidelines with a collarbone injury, speaking of the visiting side.
