Ligue 1 Preview

It promises to be an exciting end to the season in the race for a European finish in France’s Ligue 1. Lille will be hoping to keep their challenge on track this week when they kick off the domestic action against Marseille. The home side comes into this round in solid recent form, and a victory could see them leap frog AS Monaco into the top three spots in the standings. 

Lille have gone four without a defeat in the league, but the lack of victories has held them back from moving into the top three positions. They come into this round after winning twice across their last four matches, while they are among the strongest defensive sides in the top ten positions in Ligue 1.

Marseille will have a number of questions to answer this week after dropping to defeats in each of their previous two matches in the competition. The French side now sits seventh in the standings, and their chances of a Champions League finish look incredibly slim. Marseille comes into this round sitting ten points behind third-place AS Monaco. 

However, they could put pressure on the sides in the top six by landing victory this week. They would have been very disappointed with their result last weekend after falling to a 2-0 defeat against PSG, despite playing against ten men for the entirety of the second period. 

Lille vs Marseille Head to Head

Lille are unbeaten in their last two matches against Marseille in the league, with the reverse clash this term ending in a 0-0 draw. Marseille’s 2-1 home victory in September 2022 remains their only league win over Lille in the last seven clashes between the teams. 

Lille vs Marseille Prediction

The head-to-head record makes for damning reading for Marseille this week. Lille come into this round in excellent recent form, and they have been excellent in home matches throughout the season. Therefore, we will be siding with the home team landing maximum points on Friday.
