Marseille vs Lille Prediction & Tips
Habib Beye’s first month in charge of Marseille has not been without its challenges, but he has managed to lead the team to three consecutive Ligue 1 wins—the latest a 1-0 victory over Auxerre—and propel them into the top three ahead of this round. To underscore the team’s newfound resilience, all three wins came by a single-goal margin, and even though a late comeback in the title race seems highly unlikely, L’OM must continue to win to secure a Champions League spot. Morale is high, especially since Marseille has lost only one of its last 17 league home games (W13, D3)!
Lille ended its run in the UEFA Europa League with a 2-0 loss in the second leg and a 3-0 aggregate defeat to Aston Villa, and now knows that the only path to the Champions League next season is through the league standings. Trailing Lyon by three points—who sit in fourth place heading into this round—Bruno Génésio’s team still has a lot of work to do to reach their goal, but they hope to maintain their six-game unbeaten streak in the league (3W, 3D). The Mastiffs aren’t afraid of road trips, having the third-best away record this season (20 points).
