Lille – Olympique Marseille, Ligue 1 Prediction

Lille is getting closer to the goal. Les Dogues have been making the most of the situation lately. They defeated Rennes in the direct match, and in the last round they also beat Angers, making 3 consecutive wins, until Rennes couldn’t beat Brest at home, making the difference between Rennes in 3rd and Lille in 4th only 1 point. A few months ago, few people believed that Lille could return to the Champions League.

Marseille keep a 12-point distance to PSG, which is very big difference, but also somewhat commendable. However, at this time of the season PSGs were much closer to securing the title in last years, and for this reason it can be argued that Olympic has risen sharply now. Marseille also made big progress, because at the beginning of the season the team played very poorly and fans were worried that OM would under 5th place where it finished last campaign.

 Expert view : Lille vs. Marseille is one of the highlights of the season. Les Dogues have lost just 7 points at home in the league out of 36 possible, a great achievement. Marseille last lost a game in the Championship on October 27th by PSG as a guest, and overall they have 3 losses for the whole season. The clash will be tough for both teams, and we will bet on a BTTS at 1.95. We think Lille will go for the win and score at least once. Les Dogues are uncompromising in attack, but Marseille is very difficult to convey.

Lille have not scored a goal in the league only in 2 games, one against PSG

3 of the last 4 games between Lille and Marseille have finished with BTTS
