Sixth in the Ligue 1 standings (21 points) with two games late to play, the team led by André Villas-Boas could provisionally rise to one point from PSG, in the event of success against the Gard club. In the meantime, OM know more about their future, and particularly their match against RC Lens, which should have been played on Friday, October 30, on the ninth day of the championship.
Villas-Boas wants to keep winning
However, due to the numerous cases of Covid-19 within the Sang-et-Or workforce, it had been postponed. This Friday, we therefore know the date of this meeting. “Following the decision of the LFP Competitions Commission of December 4, 2020, the Olympique de Marseille / RC Lens meeting, counting for the 9th day of Ligue 1 Uber Eats and initially scheduled for Friday October 30, 2020 at 9 p.m., is rescheduled at Sunday January 3, 2021 at 9 p.m. on Téléfoot “, can we read on the official website of the LFP.
In theory, OM could take the lead in the championship once the two late games have been played, and André Villas-Boas has expressed his goal, before challenging Nîmes. “We have two games late, we must continue to win. We are next to the top teams, we must continue to be consistent. I think that March, April and May are more accessible months for us in terms of the calendar, We will no longer have direct confrontations with the opponents. So there we can talk about our ambitions, see if we can make a final sprint or not. “
