Marseille looking to keep control of Ligue 1

Whenever PSG have faltered in the title race, Marseille have responded with the determination of true contenders. While the Parisian giants dropped points in their last two Ligue 1 fixtures —drawing against Lille and Strasbourg— the southern side has remained relentless, securing back-to-back wins to seize control at the top.

Last weekend, Marseille made a bold statement by dismantling Le Havre 6-2, a game highlighted by a stunning four-goal performance from Mason Greenwood, who now has six goals this season. This victory capped a run of four consecutive wins in the league, positioning Marseille as the current leaders and a serious title threat heading into a busy week with two key fixtures ahead.

Lens ready to challenge at home

The next challenge arrives on Saturday, when Marseille travel north to face Lens, currently sitting in fourth place—just two points behind the league leaders. A win for Lens would see them leapfrog Marseille in the table and announce themselves as serious contenders in the title fight.

Under the guidance of former Lyon coach Pierre Sage, Lens have been one of the most consistent teams in the league, going four matches unbeaten and showing strong form on home soil. Their dynamic, high-pressing style will test Marseille’s confidence and defensive structure in what promises to be one of the standout matches of the weekend.
