Marseille take on the visitors Lorient in the round 19 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, January 14th at Stade Vélodrome (Marseille).
Marseille are trying to keep up with Lens, took five victories in a row in domestic competitions, reached the next round of the country's cup and can focus on the domestic championship after being eliminated from the Champions League. The attacking line of the team did not get much better after the break. Tudor's team defeated Toulouse, scored two unanswered Troyes, but does this mean that the attacking line is out of the crisis, still, there are enough problems. The Provencal’s are overrated by the bookmakers on this round, who are offering no more than 1.45 for three points of the hosts against Lorient.

Lorient had scored two goals in three minutes against Monaco. Given the problems with the goalkeeper and the defensive line, Lorient stopped winning, but did not stop scoring. The team of Le Bris is still the sixth and maybe it's time to stop underestimating the team? There seems to be nothing new in the club's game, but the team began to play amazingly on counterattacks. The head coach simply squeezes the maximum out of his guys, it's just the coaching team. That's all. And, yes, Lorient has suffered only one away defeat this season. Many talked about a possible recession and it was. But after a productive draw with the Monegasques, we should be extremely careful with a bet on Marseille's victory.
The main thing for Lorient will be to play solid in defense. The visitors do not concede a lot. More often one, less often two. The hosts in their field are scoring two on average, but the last victories over the modest underdogs are one thing, with their own kind, for example, with Lyon and Monaco, Marseille won with a minimal advantage. Lorient are an easy rival for the hosts, Marseille have six head-to-head victories in a row, but it seems that this time the winning streak may be interrupted. Picking Lorient's one-goal handicap seems like the best option.
Prediction for the match: Lorient to win with +1.0 handicap.
