Olympique Marseille Lens betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge is that Marseille will not win. The quality of the home club is undeniable, however, it is not always sufficient to achieve good results. Marseille have won just two of their last games, and Lens have managed to achieve very positive results. Thus, it is expected that the visiting team will impose some difficulties to the home club and end up winning at least one point in this round.

Preview
Warning: Match postponed! This preview was written for the original match date: 31.Oct.2020 01:30
Olympique Marseille and Lens meet at Orange Vélodrome, in a match for the 9th round of the Ligue 1. There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 22‑03‑2015, the match ended with the final score: Lens (0‑4) Olympique Marseille. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 4th and 7th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 15th best team in home matches and the 11th best in away matches.

Analysis Marseille

The home team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 15 points won, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Bordeaux, by (3‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Lorient, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 10 points in away matches, with 6 goals scored and 3 conceded, against 5 points won at their stadium, with 5 goals scored and 5 conceded. They come to this match after a home loss against Manchester City by (0‑3). For the league, Olympique Marseille won 5 points out of 12 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 4 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 6 of the last 8 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 14 of the last 16 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Marseille come to this clash unmotivated after losing 0-3 at home, to Manchester City, counting for the Champions League. The home team usually play in a 5-3-2, favoring a faster playing style, with the two most advanced players being Nemanja Radonjic and Florian Thauvin. The man responsible for defining and leading his team's attacks is the Frenchman Valentin Rongier. It should be noted that coach André Villas-Boas should be very satisfied, as he will have all the players available for this round.

Confirmed Lineup: Steve Mandanda, Leonardo Balerdi, Hiroki Sakai, Yuto Nagatomo, Duje Ćaleta-Car, Morgan Sanson, Valentin Rongier, Valère Germain, Florian Thauvin, Darío Benedetto.
Coach: André Villas-Boas.

Analysis Lens

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 13 points won, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Saint‑Étienne, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Lille, by (4‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 4 points in away matches and 9 points at their stadium, with 5 goals scored and 1 goal conceded at home, against 5 goals scored and 9 conceded in away matches. In the last 4 away league matches Lens has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 12 possible. 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 13 of the last 14 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

Lens come to this match quite unmotivated after a 4-0 home defeat to Lille. The away team will be able to play in a 5-3-2 tactical system, and should adopt a more defensive posture, with the aim of trying as hard as possible to suffer any goal caused by tactical errors. In this tactical formation, the two players who will occupy more advanced zones on the pitch are Florian Sotoca and Corentin Jean. It should be noted that the intervener who will put his vision of the game into practice, with the objective of defining the best attacks of his team, is the Frenchman Gael Kakuta. Coach Franck Haise is expected to have four absences for this round, all due to injury: Ignatius Ganago, Seko Fofana, Cheick Traoré and Issiaga Sylla.

Confirmed Lineup: Jean-Louis Leca, Steven Fortes, Jonathan Clauss, Jonathan Gradit, Massadio Haïdara, Facundo Medina, Cheick Oumar Doucouré, Gaël Kakuta, Seko Fofana, Simon Banza, Florian Sotoca.
