Marseille have had no problems opening up opposition defences in their most recent fixtures, scoring 14 goals in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Marseille have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. Such a trend isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, though.
Coming into this contest, Marseille are without an away win for the past 5 league matches.

Team News: Havre AC
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Havre AC manager Didier Digard to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy set of players. Elysée Logbo (Shoulder injury) will miss out.
We are thinking that Le club doyen could use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one and select Mathieu Gorgelin, Loic Nego, É. Youte Kinkoue, Arouna Sangante, Fode Ballo-Toure, Abdoulaye Toure, Junior Mwanga, Josué Casimir, Yassine Kechta, Issa Soumaré and Ahmed Hassan.
📰
Team News: Marseille
We reckon that Les Olympiens might make use of a 4-2-3-1 system using Gerónimo Rulli, Amir Murillo, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Leonardo Balerdi, Ulisses Garcia, P. Emil Højbjerg, Ismaël Bennacer, Mason Greenwood, Adrien Rabiot, Luis Henrique and Amine Gouiri.

Prediction
We believe that Havre AC will surely be able to put a goal past this Marseille lineup, but a single goal possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
We can see a very close game with a 1-2 winning score for Marseille at the end of this one. Let’s just see how this one goes.
