Marseille will hope to continue with their good run when they travel to Lorient for their next Ligue 1 game. The two sides face off on Sunday with Marseille in eighth place and Lorient 16th. The hosts, on 12 points from 14 matches, sit just two points above the automatic relegation spots. From their league standing, it hasn’t been a great season so far for the hosts. They come into this game without a win in the last five matches and have posted just two wins in their 14 league matches. Lorient’s last five matches have returned three defeats. They started the season well, picking five points from their opening three games but it all started going downhill on Match Day 4. Here they come having drawn 1-1 with Toulouse in their last game. in their last home match they suffered a 3-2 loss against Metz. Lorient are also without a win in 10 meetings with Marseille.

This is a fixture Marseille will love even as they play away from home. In their last 10 meetings with Lorient, the visitors are unbeaten. They come into this one having won seven of their last eight meetings. Their winning run against Lorient was only stopped in the 0-0 draw the last time they faced off. Marseille will further be confident going into this game having won each of their last three matches. They are coming from a well deserved 3-0 win over Olympic Lyon, their second straight clean sheet and win. In that win, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored his fifth goal in three matches and will be a man in focus here. Marseille will however want to work on their away form, having managed just a win in the last 10 away games.
