Lens and Marseille will take on each other in one of the most exciting games of the 22nd round in Ligue 1 on Saturday afternoon at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

With only four points separating the two teams in the battle for the Champions League football next season, we have reasons to consider this a genuine six-pointer at this stage of the season.

Marseille currently holds the third position in the Ligue 1 standings and they have a game in hand on sixth-placed Lens who are four points below them.

The visitors are unbeaten in four straight league outings. They rescued a point in the clash against in-form Lille last weekend, as Cengiz Under found the equalizer 15 minutes from time.

It was eventually a disappointing result for the Phocians who have failed to take advantage of the fact that Lille had a man sent off in the 32nd minute of the clash at Orange Velodrome.

Lens, on the other side, struggled to get past the rock-bottomed Saint-Etienne last weekend but they managed to find the late 95th-minute winner through Seko Fofana away at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

It was the second straight league win for Franck Haise’s troops who had earlier suffered successive away defeats at Nantes and Nice.

Lens do have problems to keep things quiet defensively, though. They shipped at least two goals in five of the last eight Ligue 1 games.

Also, Lens kept their net untouched only twice in the last twelve league matches

伦斯和马赛将在周六下午法甲第22轮最激动人心的比赛之一，在博拉埃特-德利利斯球场进行对决。

两队在争夺下赛季欧冠联赛的比赛中只差4分，我们有理由认为这是一个真正的6分。

马赛目前在法甲积分榜上排名第三，他们比排名第六的伦斯少一场比赛，伦斯比他们少4分。

客队连续四场联赛不败。他们在上周末对阵状态良好的里尔的比赛中挽救了一分，在比赛结束前15分钟，桑吉兹·Under将比分扳平。

对于福西人队来说，这是一个令人失望的结果，他们没有充分利用里尔在对阵奥兰治维洛德罗姆的比赛中第32分钟就有一名球员被罚出场的事实。

在另一边，伦斯在上周末艰难地突破了谷底的圣艾蒂安，但他们在95分钟的时候通过福法纳在杰弗罗伊-吉查德球场找到了制胜机会。

这是海斯的球队在联赛中取得的第二场连胜，此前他们在南特和尼斯的客场比赛中接连失利。

不过，镜头在保持防守安静方面确实存在问题。在过去的8场法甲比赛中，他们有5场至少打进2球。

此外，在过去的12场联赛中，朗斯只有两次没有进球
