Olympique Marseille host Auxerre at the Orange Velodrome on Sunday (April 30) in Ligue 1.
The hosts have had a largely positive campaign, pushing for UEFA Champions League football next season. Marseille beat in-form Olympique Lyonnais 2-1 in their last game.
They looked set to head towards a draw but profited from a late own goal from the Chelsea-bound Malo Gusto. Marseille are second in the league with 67 points from 32 games and are eight points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Auxerre, meanwhile, endured a difficult first half of the season but have enjoyed a turnaround under manager Christophe Pelissier recently. They held Lille to a 1-1 draw last time out. M'Baye Niang scored the equaliser from the spot just after the hour mark for his fifth league goal of the season. The visitors are 14th in the standings with 33 points from 32 games.
