Nardi, Goff, Jenz, Laporte, Mendes, Carioca, Fee, Lemoine, Monconduit, Laurienté and Moffi
Prediction: Marseille 2-1 Lorient
We expect Marseille to get back to winning ways here against Lorient.
The hosts have a formidable squad but in recent have dropped off the pace. But with the players in their ranks, its only a matter of time that they click.
Likewise, Lorient are not too far behind and should muster a challenge. The home support and better players gives the hosts an edge.
Players to watch out for: Payet, Dieng, Lemoine and Fee.
