Marseille statistics & current form
In the rescheduled match for Round 1, Marseille will take on Saint Etienne. Marseille’s performance last season was impressive. They finished 2nd in the standings with 56 points and immediately qualified for the UEFA Champions League in the end. They can score points both at home and away with excellent offensive and defensive skills. In the new season, they continue to beat Stade Brestois and Paris Saint Germain in the last 2 matches. However, before yesterday’s match ended, the main left-back Jordan Amavi and striker Dario Benedetto continued to be hit by red cards so that the strength of the lineup will be reduced in this match.

In the first round, they beat Lorient 2-0 and went on to pick up 3 more points in the last game against Strasbourg. At the moment, the lineup is somewhat more complete than Marseille, and the conditions are good too.
