Olympique Marseille entered late October 2026 following two consecutive away victories and a high scoring rate. On October 25, the team secured a 4-3 victory against Le Havre AC at the Orange Vélodrome, moving the club to eighth place in the league standings. Following three consecutive league wins under manager Bruno Genesio, Marseille prepared to host Toulouse FC for a ninth round Ligue 1 fixture. While Marseille entered the match in eighth place, Toulouse arrived as the league runner up, holding an unbeaten streak and sitting only two points behind the hosts. Ahead of the Toulouse fixture, Marseille faced scrutiny regarding defensive fragility and a lack of points in the Europa League. The match was set to be played with the Virage Nord stand closed due to a sanction from the Ligue de Football Professionnel. Personnel updates included the absence of Derek Cornelius due to injury and the potential return of Igor Paixão. Amine Gouiri was expected to start as the central striker despite recently missing training sessions. On November 1, Marseille secured their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 victory with a 2-0 win against Toulouse FC at the Stade Vélodrome. Amine Harit opened the scoring in the second minute following an assist from Amine Gouiri, and Gouiri added a second goal in the 25th minute after capitalizing on a defensive error. Despite the lead, Marseille faced pressure in the second half, and Toulouse had two goals disallowed by VAR for offside, including a strike by Casper Tengstedt. Goalkeeper Jeffrey de Lange made several key saves to maintain the clean sheet. Following the match, coach Bruno Genesio noted that while the team managed the lead, they experienced “moments of vulnerability and fatigue” in the latter stages.
