Strasbourg head to the Stade Velodrome sitting outside the relegation zone on goal difference, while second-placed Marseille find themselves eight points behind Paris Saint-Germain.
Marseille's pursuit of a first Ligue 1 title since 2009-10 is still alive following a hard-fought 1-0 win at Rennes last weekend, with Sead Kolasinac's second-half goal keeping OM within touching distance of PSG.
Of course, PSG would have to suffer a monumental collapse in order to surrender top spot in the standings, but Igor Tudor's men remain in the title race with 12 games remaining this season.
Not only have Marseille won three of their last four league outings, but they have also won 10 of their previous 13, scoring at least two goals in nine of those victories.
When you look at the bigger picture, Marseille have lost just five of their 26 Ligue 1 matches this term, picking up 17 wins and four draws to keep the pressure on Les Parisiens at the top of the tree.
Having thrown away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 in the reverse fixture back in October – conceding twice in the final 15 minutes – Marseille will be eager to make amends and gain revenge on Strasbourg this weekend.
