Here's the deal: Marseille hosts Lorient, and the key matchup to watch will be how the Lorient midfield deals with the relentless pressure of Matteo Guendouzi and Valentin Rongier. Lorient, sitting 10th in Ligue 1 with 38 points, has shown some fight recently, grabbing a 2-0 win against Brest last week, but their away form has been spotty. Marseille, on the other hand, is flying high in second place with 52 points, coming off a dominant 4-1 victory over Saint-Étienne. Jorge Sampaoli’s side is playing with a swagger that Lorient just can't match right now. Marseille wins 3-1.
