- Competition: Ligue 1

- Kickoff: 20:05 UK / 21:05 CET
- Venue: Orange Velodrome
Marseille will be looking to further cement their place in the top four, which guarantees them a place in next season's Champions League, when they host Lens at the Orange Velodrome on Saturday evening.
The hosts go into this game on the back of a solid 2-0 win over Nantes last weekend, while Lens conceded four goals in an entertaining 4-3 defeat to Le Havre last Saturday.
Marseille - RC Lens Betting Tips: Marseille to Win
Marseille are fighting for a Champions League spot next season and currently sit second in the Ligue 1 table, having won four of their last five league games and are on a good run of form, especially when it comes to performances at the Orange Velodrome, where Marseille have won three in a row. Lens, on the other hand, have many injury problems and will have to cope without four suspended first-team players, who have also lost four games in a row in Ligue 1. This should be a comfortable win for Marseille.
