Prediction published on 05/04/2024, 06:58  by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions

Lille’s chase for an automatic Champions League spot will continue when they host Marseille in their next Ligue 1 game. At 46 points, Lille are three points off the top three while Marseille are three behind the Conference League spot. Some stability is coming into Lille’s season, the hosts approach this game unbeaten in the last six games. Their most recent was a 2-1 home win over Lens. That was however only their third win in six matches. Having drawn 0-0 with Marseille in the reverse fixture, they’ll hope for an extension to their good form against Marseille. In the last three matches they hosted Marseille, Lille emerged winners. Les Dogues have lost just once in their last seven meetings with Marseille but it is their home form that makes for an interesting read. In the last 38 home matches, Lille have only lost once. Coming into this match, Lille have no loss in the last 14 home games in all competitions. With Europa League action coming right after this game, it will be interesting to see how Lille line up for this game.

Marseille are coming into this game having finally suffered a home defeat this season. The five-game winning run at Jean-Louis Gasset’s appointment is now a distant memory. They fell 2-0 to 10-man PSG in their last game and will hope to bounce back here. The loss to PSG was their third straight defeat and second straight outing without scoring. Marseille haven't had it easy when visiting Lille, and will hope for some reprieve here. They have a crucial Europa League game coming up as well, and will want to generate some positivity here. In their away form this season, Marseille will understandably come into this game as underdogs. This is the first of two straight away matches yet Marseille have only four away wins in 21 matches this season. Their last seven matches on the road returned just one win, and they have two straight defeats coming here.
