OM burned jokers like rarely. OM seemed missing for the fight in Europe. Some of his supporters have also admitted, and for several weeks, that “the championship is dead!” And yet, OM is still alive. Still there, with his destiny in hand, to achieve European qualification through the championship.

The Vélodrome, a strength this season: 21 matches, 1 defeat
The Olympian objective is clear: regain 6th place in Lens this Sunday, before the last three meetings of the season (trip to Reims and Le Havre, reception in Lorient). For that, the Marseille people know the way: two successes against two direct competitors, better ranked than them. TOP 6 teams against whom OM is struggling this season (only one victory against Brest). “It’s a decisive week Marseille coach Jean-Louis Gasset makes no secret of this. Despite all the poor performances, we still have our destiny (in hand) and we are playing it at home. I have a lot of hope.”
Clauss, Harit and Gigot return
And it begins with the arrival of the eaglets, in a always anticipated southern derby. In a Vélodrome deprived of 5,500 Commando Ultra supporters, sanctioned after the use of fireworks against PSG, OM will try to relaunch in Ligue 1, after 1 point taken out of 12 possible (in 4 matches). To achieve this, Marseille recovered defender Clauss, injured for a month. Other returns: Gigot and Harit, suspended last weekend in Toulouse (2-2).
