Marseille and Clermont will meet again in the Ligue 1 Week 16 at the Stade Orange Vélodrome Stadium, Marseille Sunday, December 17, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
This week, the Stade Velodrome will be a silent witness to the fierce battle between hosts Marseille and their guests, Clermont, in the 16th match of Ligue 1. With their unbeaten record at home at stake, Marseille certainly does not want to drop points in this match.
Despite winning three domestic matches this month, including a 4-2 win over Lorient last week, Marseille are currently still in sixth place in the standings. On the other hand, Clermont is second from bottom after drawing 0-0 with Lille. However, make no mistake, Clermont is not a team to be underestimated. They have shown some positive signs and are ready to put up a fight.
One of the biggest disappointments for Marseille this week was their failure to qualify directly for the last 16 of the Europa League. They had to swallow the bitter pill of losing 1-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion. However, they still have a chance in the competition, even though they have to go through the playoffs.
On the other hand, in domestic competition, Marseille have never tasted defeat at the Stade Velodrome this season. This fact is certainly a valuable asset for them ahead of the match against Clermont. Additionally, Marseille has won three of the four matches played all-time against Clermont. This is OM’s highest winning percentage against a team currently playing in Ligue 1.
However, Clermont is not a team to be underestimated. Despite being in a difficult situation, they have shown some positive signs. They have picked up points in two of their last three league matches. Even though they are currently in the relegation zone, one win can change everything.
One of the biggest challenges for Clermont is their goal productivity. They have scored fewer goals than any other team in Ligue 1 this season. However, more than half of the points they have collected this season have come away from home. Even though they lost their previous away match against Brest (3-0), they certainly don’t want to experience consecutive defeats.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has scored four goals in his last three league games, is certainly a serious threat to the Clermont defense. However, Clermont also has several players who can make a surprise, such as Muhammed Cham who has scored 2 goals and 2 assists this season.
