Match Preview
Olympique Marseille will host Lorient at the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday, 14 September, as both teams look to build momentum in Ligue 1. Marseille's recent form shows a mix of results, with two wins and three draws in their last five matches, suggesting a team that is hard to beat but may struggle to convert draws into victories. In contrast, Lorient has had a tougher time, managing only one win in their last five outings, alongside two draws and two losses.
One notable angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record, which favours Marseille, who have won five of their last ten encounters against Lorient. Furthermore, seven of those matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored, indicating a propensity for high-scoring games. With both teams likely to adopt an attacking mindset, especially Marseille at home, a bet on over 2.5 goals could be a prudent choice, given the attacking talents on display and the need for both sides to secure valuable points.
