Lens: The probable line-ups and where to watch this late Ligue 1 match

Three months later, Olympique de Marseille and RC Lens will finally face each other, in a catch-up match of the ninth day of Ligue 1. While the Sang et Or were unable to play in October, due to too many Covid-19 contaminations, this time the meeting will take place.

The observation is very simple, before this late match against Lens, Olympique de Marseille no longer has the right to make mistakes. Dropped by the top teams, the Marseille club must win at home to at least try to catch up with the top three.

After having frankly believed in the title, when the Marseillais could regain the lead in case of success in their two games to catch up, OM lost points and started badly in the year 2021. Worse, on their last six meetings in the League 1, the Olympians won only once, against Montpellier (3-1) on January 6.

Deprived of Mandanda, Amavi or even Kamara injured, but also of the rookie Lirola, not approved for this match originally scheduled for October, the Phocéens will present themselves weakened against a tough Lensoise team, which remains on a draw against Nantes (1-1) and the last mixed weeks, but which has already proven its ability to thwart the big plans.

The meeting promises to be good, and the Sang-et-Or will be able to benefit from a competitive eleven, despite the absence of the promising Badé in central defense, or Jean in attack. Who will win? Case to follow!
