FOOTBALL
The Marseillaises – Arkema Premier League
A great first for the women of OM with the Takeover of Vélodrome. While OM takes a break this weekend due to the international break, the Vélodrome will host a football match. And what a match! For the first time in their history, the Marseillaises (9th) will play this Saturday in this stadium in front of over 40,000 spectators. They will host the last-placed Montpellier (12th), a direct competitor for survival in the first division. Kick-off at 6:30 pm. Before that, Maritima will offer you a live broadcast during warm-up with LUIZA and DJ BORMIN’.
Aubagne – National

HOCKEY
Spartiates – Magnus League
The season is now over for the Marseille hockey players. They were beaten 4-1 by Bordeaux. This is the 3rd consecutive season that Boxers have eliminated Spartiates at this stage of the competition. In this 3rd season in the Synerglace Magnus League, Marseille has broken their record for points in the regular season, reached the first quarter-finals of the Coupe de France in their history, and attracted nearly 125,000 spectators throughout the season (4966 average spectators per game).
HANDBALL
Istres Provence Handball and PAUC – Liqui Moly Starligue
It’s the resumption of the Starligue championship after the international break. After shining in his debut for the French team, Istres goalkeeper Romain Mathias will have an important role to play tonight. Istres handball players (16th, 7 points) welcome Saint-Raphaël (5th, 23 points) at 8 pm at the Halle Polyvalente. The Taureaux, just 3 points from Chartres, the first team above relegation, have regained hope since their victory two weeks ago at home against Tremblay, even though they later lost to Limoges. It won’t be easy against the Varois who aim for European places and have won their last 3 Starligue games.
Martigues – Handball National 1
A beautiful derby at Palais des Sports de Martigues. The Martégauls (10th, 25 points) will host neighbors Nîmes (4th, 34 points) at 8:30 pm. In the battle for survival, the Lions regained confidence after their victory against Toulouse and their draw against Lyon Caluire.
VOLLEY
Martigues Volley – Ligue B
Tonight, the gymnasium Julien Olive will be packed for the summit clash of Ligue B. MVB, the championship leader, hosts Royan, just one point behind at 8 pm. To accommodate the high number of spectators, the club will even install ground stands. This promises an incredible atmosphere. The “Avatiques” can also count on the return of their attacker Maoni Talia, who was absent last weekend during the 3-0 loss to Fréjus. However, central player Fernandez remains injured.
BASKETBALL
Fos Provence Basket and Pays Salonais Basket – National Masculine 1
The Byers aim for the 5th win in a row. After winning their first 4 games of the 2nd phase of the championship, Fos basketball players (1st, 28 points) will travel to Levallois (4th, 27 points) tonight. A victory would give Fos a slight lead against a direct rival in a tightly contested top table where the top four teams are separated by just one point…
