Marseille Wants To Be Close To Bordeaux

Marseille will probably keep the pressure on Ligue 1 leaders Bordeaux trying to add to their winning streak 4 games including a trip to Saint Etienne.

The boss of Marseille, Didier Deschamps saw his team stealing 3 points against Lorient after Souleymane Diawara has scored 2 minutes into the stoppage time. He did this because he wanted to give his team a win of 2-1.

This places Marseille on the 2nd place, with 6 points less than Bordeaux. However, even if the champions are on a run of 6 wins, Deschamps is thrilled with the form of his team.

The manager of Marseille affirmed that they are hanging on to the coat tails of Bordeaux. He also added that they are picking up a lot of points and so they are. This is the first time they have won 3 successive matches. This is the only thing that makes them happy.

Meanwhile, St Etienne also wants to improve its record, this would mean 2 wins in 9 matches.

Bordeaux also wants to proceed with their strong play run, while Montpellier is playing host to Nancy.
