Following consecutive Ligue 1 victories against Troyes and Angers, analysts are debating the season potential for Olympique de Marseille. While the team sits in ninth place with nine points after seven matches, opinions on their trajectory remain divided.

Christophe Dugarry expressed skepticism about the club finishing in the top five, arguing that despite improved composure during a 5-2 win against Angers, the squad lacks the depth and individual quality to compete with the league's elite. He noted that the team continues to concede too many opportunities. 

In contrast, Eric Di Meco offered a more optimistic perspective, suggesting recent results could alleviate mental tension within the squad. Di Meco credited coach Bruno Genesio’s tactical decisions, including the integration of younger players, as reasons for renewed hope.
