Marseille vs Lille Prediction & Betting tips
Historically, Olympique Marseille performs strongly against Lille in its own Orange Vélodrome, but last season Lille managed to take three points from the port city. Can the people of Marseilles take revenge on Saturday?
Olympique Marseille:
Last weekend, Olympique Marseille in le Classique was played away for half a while by Paris Saint-Germain and rightly lost 4-0. Last Wednesday, the team of André Villas-Boas went down 2-1 against AS Monaco in the sixteenth finals of the Coupe de la Ligue after a bad first half and meanwhile three of the last four games were lost. If the team of Villas-Boas lose again on Saturday, then the right-hand row beckons, because in theory seven teams can then pass through the Marseilles on the ranking list.
The midfield seems so far the weakest link in the team of Villas-Boas. Midfielder Maxime Lopez was an undisputed base player at the start of the season, but the 21-year-old Frenchman never played the full ninety minutes in the last six games. Kevin Strootman, on the other hand, who was allowed to leave at the start of the season, seems to be sure of a basic place, just like Valentin Rongier. As a result, in l’OM’s 4-3-3 system, there is one place left in midfield, but so far no player has been able to claim that place based on the game shown.
Lille:
Lille shows two faces this season: in home games, the team of Christophe Galtier has so far been the best performing team of the Ligue 1 with sixteen points from six games and a goal balance of +10 (14-4), but in away games this season not yet won. Last weekend, Girondins de Bordeaux won 3-0 in their own stadium, but that does not alter the fact that the team actually has a problem in away games.
In addition to the poor results in earlier away games this season, there is another disappointment for Galtier, as striker Victor Osimhen was injured last weekend. It is not yet clear whether the Nigerian can be deployed again this weekend, but Galtier was already hinting at a basic spot for Loïc Remy: “Unlike last season, we have several options in the front. I am only afraid that we will only have Loïc Remy in the front as a solution Timothy Weah is not yet fit, so I have to find other solutions in view of the heavy program. ”
