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
Regarding absentees, there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Havre AC boss Didier Digard to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Elysée Logbo (Shoulder injury) will miss out.
It looks as if Le club doyen should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring 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 are inclined to think that Les Olympiens seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with 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.
