Lille vs Marseille Prediction 04.04.2024

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: 05.04.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq)

With a very important victory against Lens in the previous round, Lille have remained in the race for one of the positions that bring placement in the Champions League. The deficit compared to Monaco is 3 points, while Brest has 4 points more, so it is clear that Lille must win in the last 7 rounds. In March, they showed exceptional form, never losing, and they also reached the 1/4 finals of the Conference League. Lille is the best home team in the league, better even than PSG, and this is always a chance for them to score a good result.

After defeats against PSG and Rennes, Marseille lost all chances to reach the Champions League and very likely another European competition next season. They see the biggest opportunity in reaching the end of the Europa League, and their path is currently successful because they convincingly eliminated Villarreal in the 1/8 finals. Marseille won only once in the previous 7 away games

Lille vs Marseille pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

63 goals were scored in 27 matches of Lille this season in Ligue 1, which is slightly more than 2 goals per match on average. At Marseille, that number is 70, which is about 2.5 goals on average per match. The first direct match between these teams during the season was a rather uninteresting and ended 0-0. Marseille have had a big problem with inefficiency in recent weeks as they have scored only 1 goal in their last 3 matches. We expect to see a tough match, especially in the first half. A draw at the end of the first 45 minutes is a good option, and a slightly better option is that we will not see more than 2 goals in the entire match.
