Marseille vs Lille
France Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, September 20, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Venue: Velodrome Stadium.

Sunday night's big game will see two quality teams in Ligue 1 go head-to-head.

A lot of questions are being asked about Marseille, who saw their big rivals PSG struggle early in the season, but failed to make much of the situation. Marseille were expected to win their last game at home against Saint Etienne, but lost 2-0. The club played well in the plays, but had only 2 shots on goal.

Still OM are in a good position, they won their first two games which included a rare win in Paris over PSG but they need to move on and they need the win here, yes it is early in the season but the PSG has the tape. so high now that if other clubs want to challenge they need consistency and good starts.

Lille arrives at this game in fourth place and has one point more than Marseille. The team is undefeated so far and the last match ended with a 1-0 home win over Metz. They also drew with Rennes and beat Reims at home. Despite having only scored 3 goals so far, they have only conceded once and may have a poor defense, but of course it's too soon to tell.

Marseille vs Lille: head-to-head

• Last season, Marseille won this game 2-1.
• The last 3 meetings ended with the same result of 2-1.
• Since 2011, Lille have only won on this ground once.
• The last 5 league games have seen over 2,5 goals scored.

Marseille vs Lille: Prediction

Marseille are the better team but we have to respect the way they lost the last league game at home. Also, Lille is not a bad team, even if they don't have a good record here.

We believe this could be a close battle for the teams, but we want to look for courage and we believe there are goals in this Marseille team. We will take a small risk and support Marseille to win, but with a downside to make the price go up. The home team has many attacking options, and it is possible that the defeat against Saint Etienne was just a problem for the club.
