Interestingly, in the previous season, both teams won their road games. Lens won 1:0 and Marseille won 3:1. Looking further back, in the last ten h2h games, Lens won six games, while Marseille won three times.
Regardless of the number of goals, five out of the last ten h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (five).
Lens team overview
With the exclusion of the 2022/23 season when they finished second, Lens have been either the seventh or eighth best teams in the last five seasons. Last year, by finishing eighth, they missed out on Europe, and their definite goal is to return to Europe. For now, they are doing a fine job as they are in fourth place with 16 points in eight rounds - that is almost 0.5 points per game more than last year.
Central defender Ismaelo Ganiou served his one-game suspension and will be available. Moreover, Fode Sylla and Deiver Machado, who missed the previous games with injuries, have recovered and should be available for the Marseille game.

Marseille team overview
Marseille have been mostly among the best teams in France. Last year, they finished second, but not close to securing the title as PSG left them 19 points behind. This season, Les Phocéens are doing a great job in Ligue 1 as they are at the top of the league. However, their start in the Champions League has been terrible as they have won three points in three rounds.
After a 2:1 loss in the last game vs Sporting CP, coach Roberto De Zerbi spoke to the media. He mostly focused on the refereeing, saying they paid for refereeing mistakes and that he (the referee) is not good enough for this level of football. The coach said they were calm after receiving a red card and were close to winning points.

Prediction
Lens are in good form, having won back-to-back games vs Paris FC and Auxerre and scoring two goals in both games. At home, they were even more efficient with two or more goals in three out of four games - 67%.
Marseille have been on a five-game winning streak before losing the last game vs Sporting CP. However, even in the last game vs Sporting CP, they had the lead and would probably have won if it weren't for the red card in the 45th minute. Thus far, Marseille have scored at least one goal in nine out of 11 games - 82%.
Both teams scored in two out of the last three h2h games. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and both teams' good form, along with all the rest, we expect an exciting match with both teams scoring.
