Lens and Marseille have been the standout performers in Ligue 1 this season, with both teams currently sitting atop the table. However, things took a turn for the worse for Marseille as they slipped down to fourth place following their latest defeat against Nice.

Lens, on the other hand, has been performing exceptionally well under new coach Christophe Galtier, who has brought a fresh approach to the team's tactics and style of play. They have won all but one of their games so far this season, including a dominant 4-0 victory over Montpellier at home.

Marseille, meanwhile, have struggled to find their form this season, having lost three out of their last four games. Their recent defeat against Nice was particularly disappointing, as it saw them slip down to fourth place in the league table.

Despite their poor performance, Marseille still have a chance of catching up to Lens if they can start to perform better. However, with only six games left in the season, there is no time to waste and the team will need to start turning things around soon.

Overall, it looks like Lens and Marseille will be battling it out for the title this season, with both teams showing great potential to challenge for the top spot. Only time will tell which team comes out on top, but one thing is certain: the Ligue 1 standings are going to be a closely fought race throughout the remainder of the season.
