OM are still waiting for their first victory in Ligue 1 in 2024. Beaten in the Olympico after a goal from Alexandre Lacazette on Sunday evening, the Marseillais remain stuck in 8th place in the championship with 29 points. With three draws since December 20, Samuel Gigot’s teammates have dropped three vital points against the Lyonnais. Too imprecise in front of Anthony Lopes’ goals (one shot on target out of eight attempts), the Marseille attack struggled to wrap up this derby.
But Gennaro Gattuso’s players will perhaps have the opportunity to taste success again at home at the opening of the 21st day of the championship, against Metz, at around 9 p.m.
“We lacked aggression, we were a little too tender, especially when playing an Olympico,” breathed the Marseille captain. At the Vélodrome, OM hope to rebuild their confidence before challenging Shakhtar Donetsk on February 15 in the round of 16 of the Europa League. Opposite, the Messins are having a difficult season. They are only one point ahead of Clermont, last, and they have seven losses in a row, including the last against Lorient (1-2).
The last defeat at Saint-Symphorien, marked by clashes between supporters, was very painful for Laszlo Bölöni’s players, who saw the Merlus return to the rankings. A victory against OM would give the Mosellans some breathing room with a view to maintaining their position. Small reason for hope: during the 2nd day, Metz had a draw (2-2) after being reduced to ten against the Olympians.
The match can be watched on Friday February 9, at 9 p.m., live on Prime Video.
