Friday&#8217;s game against penultimate Auxerre should help Luis Enrique&#8217;s side regain confidence.<\/p>\n<p>On paper, Marseille&#8217;s task of welcoming leader Reims to the Stade Velodrome is more difficult. <\/p>\n<h2>major matches<\/h2>\n<p>Lens travel south full of confidence after recording a 10-game winning streak in all competitions last weekend. Reims won their only French title in 1998 and hold a one-point lead over defending champions PSG.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Marseille, who are in third place, have shown an excellent performance, boasting the best offensive record in the league with 41 goals after 18 matches. However, the nine-time champion is not consistent at the back either. The crushing defeat against Liverpool marks the first time since March 2022 that Marseille have lost consecutive home games without scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Before the trip to Auxerre, PSG coach Luis Enrique said it was time for his team to win Ligue 1.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not where we want to be in the league yet,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We need to keep working hard and keep trying to win. We&#8217;re used to deep defensive blocks. Opponents often play against us that way. We want to be the leaders, but Lens are on a roll with 10 wins in a row. It&#8217;s exciting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Featured players<\/h2>\n<p>Adrian Thomasson played a key role in Lens&#8217; rise to the top of the table. Thomasson has continued to develop since being reassigned to a deeper role. He is tied for first with PSG&#8217;s Vicinha with six assists and two goals.<\/p>\n<p>PSG defender Achraf Hakimi returns <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">africa cup of nations<\/span> They will not play Auxerre after losing to Morocco and Senegal in a chaotic final. According to the club, they will be training indoors this weekend.<\/p>\n<h2>off the field<\/h2>\n<p>French magazine Paris Match reported this week that PSG&#8217;s French defender Lucas Hernandez has been charged with human trafficking and undeclared labor.<\/p>\n<p>The Colombian family accused the player and his wife of employing him and his wife in excessively long hours without a legal framework, the magazine said.
