Marseille preview: almost there

Hello.
It's been a rather uneventful period of several days, but today football returns with an away game against Mareseille. It presents a good opportunity to pick up the points on the road (not a simple thing in our group) and keep our wonderful run going.
What makes this run even better, is the fact that we haven't dropped a single point away from home in all competitions for nine games already. This succession of wins started all the way back to March, when we've beaten current Champions' Cup holders, Bayern Munich. A monumental achievement, come to think of it.
The scale of this achievement is further underlined by the fact, that should we win our two next away games (starting today), we'll set a new club record.
The team should be more focused on the task at hand, though. It's much more important to get the points not for the sake of record, but because, as I've already said, it'll be hard to pick up those precious points elsewhere.
