The Lensois attackers in tune (23rd)
Like all of their teammates, the Lensois attackers are content only to defend in this first half hour.
Marseille cannot find the solution (21st)
Olympian domination has been clear since kick-off. But, Jorge Sampaoli does not see his players taking the lead. Lens continues to defend while waiting for an opposing error.
Franck Haise standing in his technical area (20th)
The RC Lens coach is not satisfied with the start of his team’s match, which concedes a new corner. But, the Lensois defenders manage to avert the danger.
Danso (RC Lens) avertit (19e)
Kevin Danso (RC Lens), the Austrian central defender receives the first warning of this game.
Marseille sets the pace (18th)
The Lensois watch their opponents play. Which is the business of Dimitri Payet’s teammates who are having fun.
Lens subit (16e)
The Marseille game leans to the right side and Under tries to find the solution against a solid defense. For the moment, the Turk does not arrive there.
The ball for Marseille (15th)
After the first quarter of an hour of play, Marseille hold the ball with 64% against 36 for Lens.
Very active midfielders (12th)
Matteo Guendouzi and Valentin Rongier had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch – his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today.
Lens, the art of the counter-attack (11th)
The Lensois defend in their own camp. The Marseillais play high, but watch out for the Lensoise counter-attack. Franck Haise’s men have decided to be dangerous in transition.
Under finds the frame! (9th)
The right winger Cengiz Under enters the axis before trying his luck with the left foot. His strike just at the entrance to the surface does not surprise a Farinez well placed in the middle of his goal. Still 0-0 between the two teams.
The Sang et Or defend well (8th)
Dangerous offensively, Lens is also solid defensively. In goal, Wuilker Farinez is very vigilant.
OM were surprised (6th)
Despite a good start to the match, the Marseille defense leaves spaces behind its back. Lens almost took advantage of it.
Fofana taken over by Saliba (5th)
This is the first occasion of this meeting. It is for Seko Fofana. Launched in depth, the Lensois midfielder pushed his ball several times before entering the Marseille area. At the time of striking, William Saliba makes a rescue in extremis. Marseille will be able to emerge.
The Lensois can count on their public (3rd)
Bollaert’s public give voice to encourage its players. The Lensois hear it and put a lot of intensity into their races.
Marseille in control (2nd)
Jorge Sampaoli’s men exchange short passes in the Lens camp. They are the first to put their foot on the ball to set the tempo of this match.
LET’S GO ! (1st)
The kick off of the match is given! Stéphanie Frappart will be the referee for this poster between Lens and Marseille.
Kick-off is approaching
That’s it ! The 22 actors are ready. The start of the game is approaching!
The two teams return to the locker rooms
Warm-up completed. The two teams return to the locker room before returning to the lawn of Bollaert for the kickoff of the meeting.
Marseille, defensive solidity
With the best defense in the French championship, Marseille is showing consistency away from home. Over the last four meetings, OM have not conceded a single goal (in all competitions). In Ligue 1, it’s three successes against Bordeaux (1-0), Strasbourg (2-0) and Nantes (1-0). Results that allow the Marseillais to move to Lens with reasons for hope.
Lens, solid at home
The Lensois remain in six consecutive games without the slightest defeat at Bollaert (4V-2N). The last defeat dates from September 22 against Strasbourg.
OM travels well
Third best team on the road, OM have arguments to put forward in the offensive sector. Cengiz Under remain a player to watch with three goals in their last three meetings in all competitions. But the Argentinian technician Jorge Sampaoli will also be able to rely on Dimitri Payet, captain of the Olympian team. In the North, the Marseillais know that a tough fight awaits them. It’s up to them to be hermetic to take the three points and pass Nice to regain their place as Paris Saint-Germain runner-up.
The pass of 3 for the Lensois?
By welcoming Olympique de Marseille, Franck Haise’s men want to continue their series of two consecutive victories (Saint-Etienne and Rennes). But, the Lensois will have to work to put the best defense in Ligue 1 in difficulty with 16 goals conceded in 20 games. The teammates of Seko Fofana, heroic scorer in Saint-Etienne will therefore have to rely on the 5,000 people in Bollaert to try to make the difference before the final whistle.

Lens: Sotoca in front, Farinez in goal
In Franck Haise’s eleven, we will remember the return of Florian Sotoca to the front of the attack and the tenure of Wuilker Farinez in goal. Covered with praise by Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli at a press conference, Seko Fofana is of course in the game.
