A match to dream bigger. On the occasion of the 34th day of Ligue 1, Lensois and Marseillais have an appointment at the stadium Bollaert-Delelis for a clash at the top of the table, Saturday May 6 at 9 p.m. Second with 70 points, OM want to keep their place behind Paris, while Lens, third with 69 points, wants to go ahead, and in turn be threatening for the Parisian leader.

If the title may seem complicated to get given the affordable calendar of Paris Saint-Germain, the poor form of the Parisians can give hope to the pursuers. Winning this match would already be a first step towards the place of runner-up at the end of the season. Especially for the Marseillais who could put their rival of the day at four points four days from the end. On the northern side, victory is mandatory. In a stadium where they have only lost against Nice this season, Franck Haise’s players know they have no room for error.
