Lorient vs Marseille Prediction

Lorient are currently 10th in the league and lost their two star attackers in January, with Terem Moffi and Dango Ouattara joining Nice and Bournemouth respectively. Moffi had scored 12 goals before moving to Nice, while Ouattara had 11 goal contributions before signing for Bournemouth.

The next star to leave the club could be midfielder Enzo Le Fee. The 23-year-old has produced some good performances this season, and has been linked with a move to the Premier League; Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United are among the names mentioned as potential destinations.

Marseille, on the other hand, are third in the league, six points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain. They have impressed under the management of Igor Tudor, who has made his name as a disciplinarian. Players like Jonathan Clauss and Jordan Veretout are clearly benefitting from Tudor's approach, although it will be interesting to see how long Tudor is able to last at the club. Marseille look good at the moment.

Marseille have won only two of their last five league games, and will hope to get back to winning ways against Lorient. We expect them to do so with a narrow victory.

Prediction: Lorient 0-1 Marseille
