Olympique Marseille will look to keep league leaders PSG within touching distance when they play host to Strasbourg in Ligue 1. This match finds Marseille second in the standings with 55 points, while Strasbourg are 16th on 22 points. Marseille recovered from their exit in the French Cup and loss to PSG with a 1-0 away win at Rennes and will be looking to build on here. A 3-0 defeat by the league leaders dented their charge for the title, and they go into this one sitting eight points behind PSG after 26 matches. Their 1-0 win over Rennes in the last game was crucial in their top two quest. Marseille have failed to score in just one of their last five matches and they’ve scored two or more in three of their last five matches. They have two clean sheets in five matches.

Strasbourg come into this game placed just above the relegation zone by goal difference. A loss here could see them drop three places down, to 16th, and that shows how key this game is to their season. Strasbourg lost 1-0 to Brest in their last game, their second straight game without a win and they’ve struggled defensively ahead of this game, failing to keep a clean sheet in the last four while they’ve also failed to score in two of their last four matches. In their last seven away matches, Strasbourg have managed just one win and they have no clean sheet in the 12 away league matches played this season.
