Once seen as an "invincible" squad, Les Phoceens have recently shown signs of instability in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League, worrying their supporters. Following a streak of 5 straight wins from late September through October, Roberto De Zerbi’s team has dropped points in 4 of their last 5 competitive matches, making the race for first place tougher. They enter this game on a 2-match winless run at Stade Velodrome, including a home loss early in the season to Atalanta by 0-1 in the Champions League. Marseille’s head-to-head record also supports them, with 3 wins in the last 4 meetings against Brest, especially two dominant home wins with a combined score of 6-1.

On the other hand, Brest are struggling to find the net recently, turning their attack into a major weakness. Coach Eric Roy has seen the team fail to score in 3 consecutive Ligue 1 rounds, managing goals in only 1 of their last 5 league matches, making their fight to avoid relegation even harder. This weekend, they will try to avoid a second straight away loss this season after losing their first two away games. Another scoreless match would mark Brest’s first time failing to score in two consecutive away games since October 2023. Les Pirates have not beaten OM at Stade Velodrome since their narrow 2-1 win in May 2023.

With Marseille’s potent offense and Brest’s fragile defense, the match promises to be thrilling. However, the home advantage and urgent need for points may help Les Phoceens dominate Brest’s blunt attack.
