Marseille didn't have a satisfying season. If they finish on the fifth place that can improve how they feel, but this match is not that important for them. It is hard to say what went wrong for them - they all have solid statistics and Marseille has a very strong team on paper, but they failed to fight for the place that leads to Champions League in the upcoming season.
