Betting Tips
Marseille, who have lost their last three games badly, will travel to northern France for the match against Lille in an attempt to get back into the Champions League qualifying race. In front of over 50,000 spectators, the game takes place at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium on Friday night. The hosts are expected to put on another fantastic display and add three more points to their Ligue 1 record.
Lille vs Marseille
Following consecutive league losses to PSG and Rennes, Marseille finds itself in a challenging predicament. As a result, the Phocians dropped to seventh place in the Ligue 1 standings. They presently trail Lille in fourth place by seven points and Monaco in third place by ten points. Even though Jean-Louis Gasset’s team had an additional player on the field for the whole second half, they still lost to PSG at home last weekend.
Lille will be considerably more upbeat about this. Last weekend, they triumphed 21 to 21 over Rennes, their main competitors for Champions League slots. Paulo Fonseca’s team put on a strong display. Edon Zhegrova emerged victorious, as his brace determined the outcome for both teams on that particular occasion.
Lille had Kosovan dribbler Edon Zhegrova to thank for the three points as his strikes on either side of half-time gave the home side enough room to survive a late Lens fightback.
Paulo Fonseca’s side is still a work in progress, but there is a balance and toughness about them that Marseille simply doesn’t have.

Verdict
Lille defeated Lens seven days ago to keep up their chase for a top-three finish. They remain in third place, three points fewer than Monaco. For several reasons, we consider the hosts to be strong favorites to take home the victory.
First of all, Paulo Fonseca’s team has won six straight games across all categories. They have an excellent home record with nine wins, three draws, and just one loss in their thirteen Ligue 1 games at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Marseille enters the game having suffered three straight losses in all competitions. On Sunday, they were helpless against PSG’s ten-man lineup. In this meeting, home clubs are favored based on recent head-to-head history. All we have to do is try to win for Lille.
Under 2.5 goals would be the best substitute wager. In their last league games, Marseille has not scored in any of them. Only three of their previous 10 away games in all competitions resulted in three or more goals. In 13 home games in Ligue 1, Lille has allowed just 7 goals this season. Lastly, fewer than three goals have been scored in five of the last seven head-to-head matches between these rivals.
