Marseille vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
A season outside Europe has been refreshing for Marseille, who are favorites to secure Champions League football. On matchday 25 of Ligue 1, Les Phoceens will be at home against Lens this Saturday. We have the preview and a prediction for this match below.
In their last game, Marseille beat Nantes 2-0 to recover from a shock 3-0 loss away to Auxerre in the earlier outing. That marked a fourth win in five matches, strengthening their push for a top two finish.
As things stand, they are 13 points behind the league leaders PSG, and any chances of winning the title are fast slipping away.
Among the hurdles Lens will be dealing with here is the fact that Marseille are unbeaten in seven home league matches. Lens will arrive for this game having lost their last two matches against Marseille.
The recent weeks haven't been great for Lens. To this game they carry a run of four straight defeats, the most recent ending 4-3 at home to Le Havre.
In the last four matches they’ve conceded at least two goals and won just three of 11 matches. Will Still’s men have managed an impressive 19 points away from home but that may not be enough against this Marseille side.

Our Marseille vs Lens Prediction
For the first time since May 2015, Lens have suffered four straight defeats in Ligue 1. It could get worse, seeing that they will be taking on a Marseille side that’s having a good season.
Playing away from home hasn’t offered the visitors much comfort and it will not be easy away against this particular host. Marseille are unbeaten at home in seven Ligue 1 matches and have won the last three. With this run, our prediction for Marseille v Lens is that Marseille wins the match.
