Marseille vs Lille

Marseille

Jorge Sampaoli’s team are experiencing a promising campaign in the French top-flight. OM currently sit third place in the table but are only behind second-place Nice courtesy of an inferior. The home team also have a game in hand on the second-placed outfit.

Marseille heads into this clash six games unbeaten in all competitions, having recorded five victories. OM have also suffered just one defeat in their last 11 matches in the French top-flight.

They need to improve on home soil though, as Marseille have won just once in their previous five home games in Ligue One. Their recent home matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches at the Stade Velodrome.

Lille

The reigning French champions have struggled for form this season in Ligue One. LOSC are currently tenth-place in the table after an inconsistent campaign. Despite that mixed season, Jocelyn Gourvennec’s team have shown improvement of late, as they are unbeaten in seven matches in the French top-flight. A 3-2 win at Bordeaux last time out means that the reigning champions have now won three of their last four matches in Ligue One.

Lille are unbeaten in three away games, having won their last two matches on their last three games on their travels, scoring at least three goals in each of the unbeaten run.
