Marseille Team News

Marseille is currently in sixth place in the standings ahead of this round, and given the club’s reputation, fans may not be entirely satisfied with their performance. The host already has thirteen points less than the leader, Paris Saint-Germain, and we can already conclude that their chances for the championship title are minimal, even though half of the championship has not been played yet.

After two setbacks (a loss to Lens 1:0 and a draw with Strasbourg 1:1), the host secured three consecutive victories by defeating Rennes 2:0, Lorient 2:4, and Lyon in the rescheduled match of the 10th round with a score of 3:0. In addition, Marseille has advanced to the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, and if they had managed to remain unbeaten in Thursday’s match against Brighton, they would have secured the first place and direct qualification for the 1/8 finals. Nevertheless, considering the quality of teams in Group B, the host can be satisfied with their performance in Europe this fall.

Clermont Team News

Clermont is having a poor start to the season, occupying the second-to-last position after fifteen matches with only eleven points. Additionally, with a goal difference of 9:21, the visitors have by far the weakest attack in the league, and this is an aspect of their game they must improve if they want to secure their survival in Ligue 1.

After a series of better results (two victories, one draw, and one defeat), Clermont quickly returned to a losing streak, earning only two points in the last four rounds. They were defeated by Lens and Brest while drawing with Montpellier and Lille. What further concerns the club’s fans is that they scored only one goal during this period.
