21th round of French Ligue 1. Marseille lost away to Lyon for the quarter-finals of the French League Cup in a game where Lyon imposed their rhythm and took a 2-0 lead by scoring a goal in each half, while Marseille only managed to reduce the score with a penalty in the last minute of the game. Lyon fully deserved the qualification to the next round.
Anyway, this was only the second defeat of Maseille with Anigo on the bench.With him Marseille is undefeated to the league, while they have scored in all games and the climate has improved markedly for better things. With the departure of Baup, Gignac is playing now in full form, as under the guidance of Anigo, he scored to all last six games he played.
Still there is no new faces in the last few days in Marseille regarding transfers. Ayew (10 games, 2 goals) will miss this game too, but there is no other problems in Marseille, so his absence is certainly covered to a roster with so much quality and depth. Marseille: Mandanda, Samba, Abdallah, Diawara, Fanni, Mendes, Mendy, Morel, Nkoulou, Cheyrou, Imbula, Romao, Valbuena, Lemina, Gignac, Khalifa, Payet, Thauvin.

Valenciennes won over Bastia 3:2 by playing some impressive football, while Bastia for another away match presented very mediocre. Bastia performance was unacceptable for a team with such a roster, and all they did was to reduce the score to 3:2 and lose with a decent score.
After closing 2013 with an away victory over Monaco, Valenciennes continued with the same pace, although they disqualified from the French League Cup against Rennes. Certainly these recent results have raised the confidence of the players and the climate to their club has improved considerably, but they still need some further moves to strengthen the team into January transfer window.
Bad news for Valencienne as midfielder Saez signed for Caen, while striker Bahebeck (13 games, 1 goal), striker Le Tallec (12 games, 1 goal), midfielder Camara (no participation ) and defender Rose (7 games) are all out injured. Valenciennes: Novaes, Penneteau – Angoua, Ciss, Kagelmacher, Masuaku, Mater, Medjani, Nery – Da Silva, Dossevi, Doumbia, Ducourtioux, Enza-Yamissi, Melikson – Massampu, Pujol, Waris.
I think that Marseille need to win this game a lot in order to stay close to top four, and they have the quality and the form to win all three points against Valenciennes who will miss both their first choice strikers.
