In the upcoming Ligue 1 clash, Marseille will host Lille in a match critical for both teams' aspirations for Champions League qualification. Marseille enters the match with momentum, having won three consecutive games, while Lille boasts an impressive 15-match unbeaten streak. Despite their recent form, Marseille's inconsistent home performance raises questions about their ability to secure a victory against a formidable opponent like Lille.
Marseille will lock horns against the Mastiffs on Saturday evening. Both teams are close to each other in the points table of Ligue 1. The home team will aim to increase the gap between them as they will look to grab the top spot as soon as possible.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men are in good form and at home they are a team who are capable of dominating the away side and getting good results. Marseille are playing a really good attractive brand of football but still are five points away from PSG. They will look to win all the upcoming games to put pressure on the defending champions.
Marseille possible starting lineup: Rulli; Murillo, Balerdi, Kondogbia, Merlin; Rongier, Hojbjerg, Rabiot; Greenwood, Maupay, Luis Henrique
Lille possible starting lineup: Chevalier; Mandi, Diakite, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson; Andre, Andre Gomes; Zhegrova, Haraldsson, Sahraoui; David
Lille’s undefeated run continued in midweek as they scored late to save themselves from what would have been a disappointing draw. Lille came from leading 2-0 to 2-2 in the final 10 minutes before a late goal saw them beat Sturm Graz 3-2.
Now attention shifts to Ligue 1 where a win could move them into the coveted top three. Being unbeaten in three matches against Marseille helps in that quest. They haven't won at Marseille in the last five visits though.
Key players are expected to play pivotal roles in this matchup. For Marseille, Luis Henrique has been instrumental with six goals and four assists this season. Conversely, Lille’s Jonathan David stands out with eleven goals. The absence of several key players due to injuries may impact both teams; however, predictions lean towards a closely contested encounter. Betting odds suggest that a draw is likely, reflecting the evenly matched nature of these two top-four contenders .
