Marseille

Just like at the end of the previous season, Marseille are currently the 2nd team in Ligue 1, just behind PSG. Season is just getting started, so Parisians don't have too much of an advantage now. Igor Tudor's men are behind only on tiebreakers.

Marseille earned three victories in first four matches of the season - the White-Blues beat Reims (4:1), Nantes (2:1) and Nice (3:0). But team failed to beat Brest and only earned a draw (1:1).
