We will have to wait a month to see OM-Lens -
Alain ROBERT / SIPA
OM and Lens will finally have the right to breathe.
The late match between the two teams counting for the 9th day of Ligue 1, initially rescheduled for January 3, 2021, has finally been postponed to January 20 in order to preserve the players' end-of-year leave.
This decision was taken "so that all teams benefit from the same rest period during the winter break," said the LFP, which scheduled the meeting at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20.
“It didn't feel right to play on January 3rd when everyone else is on vacation.
We made a file, which was validated.
Lens thought as we did, ”Marseille coach André Villas-Boas explained at a press conference on Friday.

"The schedule was overloaded and we needed, physically and mentally, this stop," added the Portuguese technician, who will therefore be able to give two or three additional days of vacation to his players.
OM are also awaiting the rescheduling of their match against Nice (Matchday 11) which has also been postponed due to coronavirus.
