Marseille vs Lorient Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14, 2023 

Marseille will host Lorient at the Stade Velodrome in Ligue 1 on Saturday (January 14), looking to extend their winning run in the league to six.

Following a run of four winless games in October, Les Olympiens won their next five to rediscover their mojo. This run has seen them go up from fifth in the standings to third with 39 points from 18 games.

Igor Tudor's side are looking to remain hot on the heels of leaders and Le Classique rivals PSG, who are eight points ahead of them in the title race.

Lorient, meanwhile, are seven points worse off than Marseille in sixth place, with just one win from their last eight games. Regis Le Bris, who became the club's manager in June last year, can now feel the heat, as his future is under threat.
