The fourteenth round of the Ligue 1 starts at the south of France with a game between Ajaccio and Olympique Marseille. The home team are struggling at the down part of the table having more points only than Sochaux. On the other hand, their opponents are flying high at the fifth spot and are hoping to go even higher.

As it seems, the hosts are looking to get points mostly from draws this season. They have only one win so far, and one point against Olympique Marseille would be more that good for the Corsican side. Defending is the best option for Ajaccio as their most valuable players are from the defensive line. And not only they are the most expensive part of the team, they proved to be the best one also. The defense is much better than Ajaccio attack. They scored the least number of goals in the league - only seven this season.

After losing every chance to advance in the Champions League, Olympique Marseille are now focusing on the Ligue 1. With competitors such as PSG and Monaco, it will be very difficult for Olympique Marseille to fight for the title. That is why winning against weaker rivals is of the outmost importance for the Marseille side. For the match against Ajaccio, Andre Ayew’s is doubtful, due to injury. Even without him, it would be very embarrassing not to win this time.

For the few seasons now, the Olympique Marseille are proud of their defense. In the last previous that wasn’t the case, so L’OM are trying to improve. It’s been more than a month since Steve Mandanda kept a clean sheet. The time has come for the Olympique Marseille captain and his teammates to change that.
