Marseille

LLWLWW

Marseille will go into this clash following a 4-1 Ligue 1 win with the eclipse of Brest in their last match.

In that match, Marseille had 54% possession and 11 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. For Marseille, goals were scored by Amine Gouiri (8', 45', 63') and Mason Greenwood (37'). On the other side, Brest had 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Abdallah Sima (25') was the scorer for Brest.

Marseille have been good when going forward of late, scoring 14 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Roberto De Zerbi will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Marseille can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings. Nevertheless, we’ll just have to find out if that trend will persist here in this game.

Their past results show that Marseille:

• have not won against Lille in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are without a win away from home in their last 4 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

🗞️ Team News: Lille

Samuel Umtiti (Calf injury), Edon Zhegrova (Adductor pain) and Tiago Santos (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Lille gaffer Bruno Génésio.

In our view, LOSC will possibly line up in a 4-4-2 formation for the game, utilising Lucas Chevalier, Thomas Meunier, Aissa Mandi, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Ismaily, H. Arnar Haraldsson, Benjamin Andre, Andre Gomes, M. Fernandez-Pardo, Jonathan David and Chuba Akpom.

🗞️ Team News: Marseille

We reckon that Les Olympiens seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Geronimo Rulli, Michael Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Ulisses Garcia, Valentin Rongier, P. Hoejbjerg, Mason Greenwood, Adrien Rabiot, Luis Henrique and Amine Gouiri.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Marseille should get enough chances to put a goal past this Lille lineup, although that is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re expecting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Lille by the conclusion of the game. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
