Lille OSC vs Olympique Marseille - 20/05/2023

3900

On Saturday night, Lille and Marseille clash at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in a Ligue One game that could have big implications for both teams' European challenges this season.

Lille

LOSC’s chances of earning a Champions League spot have faded in recent weeks after just one victory in their last four matches in the French top flight.

A 0-0 draw with Monaco last time out kept Lille in fifth place, which is the final European qualification spot in Ligue One. However, they are just a point clear of sixth-place Rennes.

Their recent league matches have been relatively low-scoring, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four Ligue One matches.

However, one positive for Lille has been their home form in the French top flight, as they are unbeaten in 14 matches, having recorded ten victories and four draws.

Marseille

The visitors are in third place in the table in the Champions League qualifier spot. Still, they are two points adrift of second place who occupy the final automatic Champions League spot for next season.

They have all but sealed a top-three finish this season, as OM are eight points ahead of fourth-place Monaco with just three league games to go.

Igor Tudor’s side has been in good form lately in the French top flight, winning four of their previous five matches in Ligue One while scoring at least two goals in each victory.

A 2-1 defeat at top-three rivals Lens in their last away game ended an 11-match unbeaten run on their travels for OM. In fact, Marseille have won eight of their last ten league matches on their travels.
