It has been another difficult season for Marseille but they can find something to salvage, as they continue to pursue silverware with a French Cup away clash with fourth division side Canet Roussillon. The hosts are struggling in the National 2 league and haven’t had much play time in 2021. They’ve played just three games in 2021, all being French Cup matches, starting 7th February and this will be their highest profile game. They’ve scored in all the three matches, but twice won through penalties. Abubakar Kone scored a late equalizer for Canet in the last round before they went on to eliminate Stade Poitevin on post match penalties. Going here, they’ll hope to spring a surprise against an off color Marseille side.

Argentine Jorge Sampaoli has settled at Marseille after the acrimonious departure of Andre Villa Boas and he is expected to stabilize the team, as a first priority. The team is coming from a 2-0 loss to Ligue 1 leaders Lille and he can get a good welcome with playing much weaker opponents. In the last 15 matches, Marseille have managed just three wins and while they seemed to be holding off for a draw with Lille, two late goals sunk them. They’ve now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four matches. However, they have three wins in the last four French Cup matches, scoring at least twice in each of their wins.
