Game of the week: RC Lens v Olympique de Marseille, Sunday 19:45 (UK)
A few weeks ago, it would have been hard to imagine that Olympique de Marseille would enter this matchup against RC Lens as the favorites. Earlier in October, Marseille was considered a relegation candidate. However, four consecutive wins in Ligue 1 have turned the situation around. While the strength of their opponent tempers the optimism, Thursday’s victory over Bayer Leverkusen has reignited hope. Despite evident limitations in squad depth and talent, manager Bruno Genesio appears to be maximizing his players’ performances.

Conversely, Yannick Cahuzac faces mounting pressure as Lens heads into this game positioned below Marseille in the standings. Adding to their woes, they recently suffered a staggering 9-1 defeat at home to Como 1907. This defeat could leave lingering effects on the squad. Furthermore, questions surrounding Cahuzac’s future have intensified. Is he already at risk of losing his job? Regardless, the pressure is mounting on him while Marseille heads to the Bollaert with an appetite for victory.
