After the victory of Racing Club de Lens against Troyes (4-0) and that of Paris Saint-Germain against Bordeaux (3-2), the thirteenth day of Ligue 1 continues, this Sunday, at a time when the chicken comes out of the oven. At the Orange Vélodrome, Olympique de Marseille host FC Metz (to be watched live on FM from 1 p.m.) and will try to keep up with the pace imposed by its top competitors. After impressing against PSG despite the draw (0-0), disappointed in Troyes during the match to be replayed against Nice (1-1) and trembled in Clermont despite their success (0-1), the Marseillais must finish their streak of seven matches in three weeks on a high note. Fourth in L1 at kick-off, the Phocéens also remain on a draw against Lazio (2-2), last Thursday, in the Europa League. Opposite, the Garnets, current 19th in the championship, have a very complicated start to the season (1 victory, 4 draws, 7 defeats). Worst defense of the championship, they will try to win a second success in this exercise with the possibility of leaving the red zone and thus join the play-off position occupied by the Stade Brestois.

Finally, in a role of playmaker, Payet will support Milik, holder in point. For his part, Frédéric Antonetti opts for a 5-3-2. A five-man defense formed by Delaine, Jemerson, Kouyaté, Bronn and Centonze, protecting Oukidja, present in the Metz cages. In the middle, N'Doram and Maiga form the double pivot.
