Olympique de Marseille faces Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday, March 1st, 2026, at the Orange Vélodrome, with a kick-off scheduled for 20:45. After a defeat in Brest last Friday, OM has no room for error if it wants to aim for the podium and secure a direct qualification for the next Champions League. Lyon, currently five points ahead of Marseille in the standings, is a major obstacle for the Phocéens. The entire Marseille squad underwent a five-day training session in Marbella, Spain, to get back on their feet after a first failed match under the era of coach Habib Beye. OM will have to impose itself against Lyon, and then three days later against Toulouse in the quarterfinals of the French Cup, to hope for a successful end to the season. The match will be broadcast live from 20:45 on Ligue 1 +. And with this crucial match, Olympique de Marseille can reverse the trend and get closer to the podium. But OM must first get rid of the Lyon obstacle. So Habib Beye's team will have to be solid and determined to succeed in this challenge. The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between two of France's top teams.
