Marseille striker Amine Gouiri has 6 goals in Ligue 1 and ranks among the league’s top scorers. Marseille, on a four-win run, travel to Lens on Sunday evening.
Amine Gouiri’s rise continues. The Olympique de Marseille striker has scored 6 goals in Ligue 1 this season, placing him 4th in the scoring charts, according to data from Ligue1.com. That tally puts him level with Cameron Archer (Auxerre) and Elye Wahi (Nice), behind Lassine Sinayoko (8 goals) and Estéban Lepaul (7 goals).
That individual performance accompanies Marseille’s collective momentum, with the club on four consecutive Ligue 1 wins before their trip to Lens on Sunday evening. A match that promises to be a special one for the Marseille club, between rediscovered confidence and a struggling opponent.
Gouiri in the leading pack
With 6 goals, Amine Gouiri is establishing himself as one of the league’s attacking attractions. The scoring charts, published by Ligue1.com, place him in a group of three players on equal terms, alongside Cameron Archer and Elye Wahi. Ahead of them, Lassine Sinayoko (8 goals) and Estéban Lepaul (7 goals) occupy the summit.
For the Marseille striker, this position reflects a successful start to the season on a personal level. Without ruling on his status as a starter, this output weighs on Marseille’s attacking choices. It remains to be seen how he approaches the meeting with Lens.
A confident Marseille
The four straight Ligue 1 wins reflect the current solidity of the Marseille collective. This run, highlighted by Foot Mercato, precedes a perilous trip to Bollaert-Delelis, where Marseille will try to extend their momentum. Roberto De Zerbi’s squad will, however, have to cope without Emerson, who has a knee problem, as Foot Mercato reports.
Amine Harit, by contrast, returns to the squad after being rested this week in the Europa League against Leverkusen (1-0 win). A choice reinforcement for the Marseille coach, who can count on the freshness of his attacking midfielder.
Lens, a weakened opponent
On the other side, RC Lens come into the game off a heavy defeat in the Champions League. According to Foot Mercato, the Lens side is described as “sick and probably shell-shocked” after their 9-1 reverse against Como on Wednesday. A delicate psychological context that the Marseille players will try to exploit.
The match, on matchday 10 of Ligue 1, will take place on Sunday 8 November 2026 at 20:45 at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium. An always boiling cauldron, where Marseille will need to show character to come away with a result.
