Pre-match!
After failing to book their place in the Champions League last month - suffering an agonising penalty-shootout defeat to Greek side Panathinaikos in the third qualifying round - Marseille have been determined to make amends in Ligue 1.
Les Olympiens have registered two wins and two draws in the league this season, meaning that Marcelino's side boast an unbeaten domestic record ahead of the fifth round of fixtures, while only Monaco have picked up more points in 2023-24.
Following a 2-1 victory over Reims on the opening weekend, Marseille played out a 2-2 draw with Metz before claiming a 2-0 win over Brest, with a 1-1 draw against Nantes coming before the international break.
Still, Marcelino's men will be kicking themselves after failing to claim all three points last time out, as OM failed to build on Ismaila Sarr's fourth-minute opener following Bastien Meupiyou's ninth-minute red card.
Despite playing almost the entire game against 10 men - racking up 26 shots while dominating the possession - Marseille were unable to break down Nantes' stubborn defence, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and co will back themselves to find their scoring boots.
