Marseille vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips (8 March)

Solid 2nd of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille was expected at the turn last weekend after its heavy defeat in Auxerre 3-0. The Marseille club demonstrated on Sunday against Nantes that he had his shoulders to bounce back and did it in front of the Nantes team 2-0. Thus, he kept 3 points ahead of Nice, his first pursuer. Without European competition and eliminated from the Coupe de France, Marseille now only plays in Ligue 1. Its difficulties in evolving at home are no longer relevant. The Marseillais have won their last 3 games at the Vélodrome stadium.

  There is an emergency in Lens. The Artesian club comes out of a month of February to zero points after defeats against Nice 2-0, Strasbourg 0-2 and Nantes 3-1. The reaction expected last weekend against Le Havre did not take place. Defeated by the relegation at the end of a spectacular match 3-4, the Lensois sink into the crisis and see the qualifying places for Europe move away. Six points separate them from the 6th position, offering access to the conference league qualifications. 

In Marseille, a titular defender returns but another is away. While Cornelius returns to suspension while Murillo, released on injury against Nantes, is retained at the infirmary. It should thus be far from the field for several weeks. In this position, the winter recruit Luiz Felipe has also just made its debut. The group of the day is once again composed without the seriously injured Moumbagna and the young Vaz, also on the side. Mbemba still does not enter into the plans of his trainer. Scorer on the last 4 home matches, Greenwood has scored 15 achievements in Ligue 1.

Winter recruits Gouiri and Bennacer are also very in sight, the striker for having already scored 3 goals and the midfielder to have become a holder in the position in place of Rongier. The RC Lens is impacted by several absences including four for suspensions. The Medina, Thomasson, Fulginini and Nzola executives are penalized. They are added to a list of defections already including the long -standing absent Lascary, Satriano and Chavez. The Winter High Agbonifo (1 goal) is in doubt like El Aynaoui, tenured for several weeks in the midfield but released on injury against Le Havre. Sotoca has just scored her first goal of the season after a long scarcity. 

• Summary: Olympique de Marseille is going head to head with RC Lens starting on 8 Mar 2025 at 20:05 UTC at Orange Velodrome stadium, Marseille city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1 .
