Marseille vs Lorient Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Ligue 1 2025-26

Olympique de Marseille secured an easy win when these sides last clashed.

Marseille are ready to battle it out against FC Lorient in what is going to be the matchweek 4 fixture of the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season. Orange Vélodrome is set to witness an interesting clash between the two clubs.

Olympique de Marseille fell prey to Lyon in their previous French league game. It was an underwhelming effort by Marseille as they conceded a late goal, which led to their second loss in the new season. They will be at home for their next fixture and will be gunning for a win here.

FC Lorient have also been able to win one of their last three Ligue 1 matches of the new campaign. They were dominated by Lille OSC in their previous league fixture.

They came in with a poor defence and below-average attack rate, which led to a 1-7 defeat for them. The visitors will be looking to step up for their next game.

Players to Watch

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)

The Englishman will have an essential role to play in the final third for Olympique de Marseille. Mason Greenwood was the top goal scorer for his side last season.

In the first three games of the new season, his performance has been decent enough. Greenwood has scored a goal and also has two assists to his name.

Tosin Aiyegun (Lorient)

In his last two fixtures for FC Lorient, Tosin Aiyegun has scored two goals and will be ready to lead his side from the attacking front yet again. The 27-year-old forward will be looking to step up as his side is gearing up for another tough challenge. It will be interesting to see his performance here.
