Marseille vs Lens Predictions

Les Phoceens to claim the spoils

Marseille are the best bet when they host Lens at Stade Velodrome on Saturday. The visitors are out of form and Roberto De Zerbi’s side should be backed to secure a home win.

Marseille are second in Ligue 1, having won 15 of their 24 games this season, while Lens are ninth with nine wins. The hosts are seven places and 16 points above the visitors.

Marseille beat Nantes 2-0 on Sunday to make it four wins in five Ligue 1 games, having responded to a 3-0 loss to Auxerre. Marseille justified their price of 4/11 to win the game, with this being eight times in 13 matches that they have won when odds-on this season.

They are unbeaten in seven home games in Ligue 1 and have secured three straight successes at Stade Velodrome.

Marseille may be able to edge out Lens in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Lens are on a losing run of two straight away games and Marseille have won five of their Ligue 1 games this season by the odd goal.
