Bruno Genesio’s tough start at OM laid bare by grim Ligue 1 numbers | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Rennes on Friday, their third loss in four Ligue 1 matches since the restart, as a string of statistics underlines Bruno Genesio’s stuttering start.

According to L'Équipe, a raft of numbers captures the scale of the downturn. Marseille have three points this season, one win and three defeats, matching their joint-lowest after four games in the last 20 years alongside 2007/08, 2011/12 and 2015/16.

They have failed to score for the sixth time away from home in Ligue 1 this year, more than any other side.

Marseille have lost seven of their 11 league trips this year, again the most over the period, and they own the worst away goal difference in 2026 at -11.

Their woodwork has come to the rescue 13 times in Ligue 1 this year, at least three more than any other team.

Genesio is the first Marseille head coach to lose three of his opening four Ligue 1 matches in charge since Ivan Markovic in August 1977, one win and three defeats.
