Marseille have slipped from first to fifth after they thrashed Montpellier 4-0 three weeks ago, picking up only three points in four matches, the last one in a 1-1 home draw against Olympique Lyon on Sunday.
"We could have done better but let's be content with that," coach Didier Deschamps told the club's website.
Marseille's midfield, with Lucho Gonzalez and Mathieu Valbuena, has been showing great potential, however, their front line has been somewhat limited, with Andre-Pierre Gignac still struggling to make an impact.
"It's true that we are stalling but let's bear in mind that we do not lag too far behind," Valbuena, who netted the equaliser on Sunday, told the club's website.
"It was a good performance even if at the end of the day we only got one point and it does not make a lot in the last four rounds of matches," he said after the Lyon draw.
"'Dede' has a lot of character. He is going to score goals and he will help us win matches. I am not worried at all," he said.
Elsewhere, Montpellier travel to Lorient in Tuesday's only Ligue 1 game.
