Lens and Marseille are coming off contrasting outings in Europe, and they shift gears to Ligue 1 to battle for three points. Hosts Lens start the week sitting ninth and Marseille sixth. The visitors have had a good time lately, and it is showing in their results, so in our prediction we are backing a Marseille win.
Lens were expected to have a great season after pushing PSG in the title fight, winning the domestic cup, and returning to the Champions League. It has, however, been the opposite.
Les Sang et Or are struggling a lot in the season. They are currently ninth, seven points behind the leaders after their 1-0 defeat to Lille in the last round. Right after the loss, they went into an even tougher outing as they suffered a 9-1 loss to UCL debutants Como.
Marseille suffered in the early stages of the season, but all that is a distant memory at the moment. They are coming off their first win in the Europa League, beating German giants Bayer Leverkusen 1-0.
That was their third straight victory. It was a special win for the fact that it happened away from home against a team that hadn’t lost or conceded a goal in the competition.
Les Phocéens will look to carry the same spirit back home into this encounter. Having won the last four Ligue 1 matches, that should come naturally.
Also, Marseille have only lost once in their last eight matches coming right after playing in Europe.

Our Lens vs Marseille Prediction
Our prediction for Lens v Marseille is that Marseille wins. Marseille started the season poorly, but things have settled down now, making them one of the form teams heading into this round.
They’ve hauled themselves from the relegation zone to the top six, and only the league leaders PSG are in better form than Marseille across the last five Ligue 1 rounds. They face a Lens side coming from one of their toughest weeks after conceding nine times in a Champions League game to add on to a tumultuous campaign.
