"Ineffectiveness in attack and defense failed us again, hence my disappointment. We are in a fight for survival with five or six clubs. We are prepared for anything and if we have to go through a roadblock, we will be ready to overcome that obstacle. We have to be strong and united for the last three games of the season."

Lorient can avoid automatic relegation if they can avenge October's first-round match, in which their former star Guendouzi scored in OM's 4-1 win at their Orange Vélodrome, although Les Merlus have not beaten Marseille since April 2015, when they left the Mediterranean coast with a resounding 5-3 victory.

A win, which Marseille are betting to secure as favorites, would make Thursday's result against Feyenoord in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final almost irrelevant in terms of continental qualification, with a place in next year's UEFA Champions League group stage.

Dimitri Payet will not play for Olympique de Marseille again this season after injuring his calf against Feyenoord in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.
"Dimitri Payet suffered a calf muscle injury after evaluation of the usual baseline tests," read an official club press release. "Treatments have already begun, but full recovery will only occur after the end of the championship."

Lorient has been clinging to avoid relegation for several seasons, the team is not one of the most recognized in the league by far, however despite constantly occupying the last positions the team remains in the first division, currently occupying the sixteenth position of Ligue 1 with 34 points, the team is still at risk of relegation and if they do not add in the next few days they could be disputing their permanence or relegation directly, the team will face Marseille at home and has the possibility of ruining their direct pass to Champions League, Lorient has two wins in their last five games, however the two consecutive defeats have not allowed them to move away from relegation and a combination with a defeat of them could put them there, they will certainly have to leave everything on the field.

Marseille led by Sampaoli comes from a lousy result in the Conference League semifinals, the team failed to advance to the final after a goalless draw at Feyenoord due to a 3-2 loss at home, now they have their minds on regaining the second position that Monaco took away from them last Friday when they matched them in points with 65, Marseille now have the opportunity to regain their position and put aside the midweek defeat, with PSG crowned champions, they know that second place is the most valuable thing at stake now, Marseille come from losing 3-0 in the league against Lyon being their second defeat in the last five games and the eighth of the tournament, this Sunday Marseille will look to leave the bad streak behind and start closing the season in the best way.

The 36th round of the Ligue 1 brings us the duel Lorient vs Marseille which can lead to the definition of their season, on the one hand Marseille seeks to return to the second position that gives them a place in the Champions League, on the other hand Lorient wants to get away from relegation as it is at risk and a combination of results could make them fall into relegation positions.
