Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Under 3.5 goals

Odds: 4/11 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves battling it out at the top of the Ligue 1 table, Marseille will host Lens on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, last seen making an immediate return to losing ways, Marseille still have the feel of a side seeking some stability. In their opening 11 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, two draws and two defeats, scoring 20 and conceding eight in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 23, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fourth in the standings and holding a two-point buffer from slipping out of the Champions League spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 1-0 loss away at PSG, Marseille have now suffered back-to-back Ligue 1 defeats. However, it should be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen 13 of their previous 14 matchups across all formats finish with under 3.5 goals.

As for the visitors, putting in another impressive display last time out, Lens have continued to impress many across France since opening the 2022/23 campaign. In their opening 11 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, three draws and just a single defeat, scoring 18 and conceding eight in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 24, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the standings and holding a one-point buffer over Saturday’s opponents. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 victory against Montpellier on home soil, Lens have remarkably lost just a single fixture since the start of April. However, with this weekend’s guests seeing each of their previous six contests finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
