Marseille

WLWLLL 📉

Marseille won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 3-1 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Reims.

In that game, Marseille had 80% possession and 20 attempts at goal with 8 on target. The only player to score for Marseille was Valentin Rongier (78'). Reims had 7 shots on goal with 5 on target. Keito Nakamura (29'), Mamadou Diakhon (51') and Valentin Atangana Edoa (68') scored for Reims.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Marseille have shown defensive steel. In fact, Marseille have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 11 goals during that time.

Ahead of this meeting, Marseille haven't been beaten in the league by Toulouse in their last 21 matches. A very long unbeaten run against them.

Toulouse

LWWDLL

After a loss in their previous game against Brest in Ligue 1 action, Toulouse and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Toulouse had 53% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. For Toulouse, the goals were scored by Vincent Sierro (65') and Joshua King (78'). Brest got 10 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Justin Bourgault (22'), Mathias Pereira Lage (26'), Kamory Doumbia (62') and Mahdi Camara (90') scored for Brest.

The stats don’t lie, and Toulouse have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 9 goals in all. Defensively, Toulouse can certainly do much better. With no two games being the same, we must now wait to see whether that trend will persist in this next game.

Ahead of this clash, Toulouse haven't beaten Marseille when they have played them away from home in the previous 10 league matches. A very poor run of away results.
