The very average on the European scene, Olympique de Marseille could not avoid the last place in its group behind Manchester City, Porto and Olympiakos with 5 defeats in the bag against a single victory. On the other hand, in the league, the Phocaeans are very consistent and they are in 4th place in the standings with 5 points behind the Lille leader and 2 games behind. Winners of their last 6 meetings, André Villas-Boas’ men were able to dominate Nantes (3-1), Nîmes (0-2) and Monaco (2-1). On the other hand, this great series ended Wednesday night against Rennes (2-1) after playing nearly an hour outnumbered.

Opposite, the Stade de Reims does not show itself at the same level displayed in previous seasons during which it was able to join in the fight for European places. Indeed, this year, the Champenois are battling to keep the lead outside the relegation zone. Beaten by Nîmes (0-1) and Lyon (3-0), David Guion’s men were then able to hang on to Nice (0-0) before plunging back against Brest (2-1). Finally, Wednesday evening, they were able to overcome a Nantes team in crisis to climb back to 17th place in the standings.
