Lille vs Marseille Betting Tips - Lille to Win
Heading into the final weeks of the Ligue 1 season, Lille and Marseille remain in pole position to qualify for next season's Champions League. Placed 3rd and 2nd respectively, just two points separate these sides, with only three more fixtures to fulfill in Ligue 1.
Lille return to home comforts after a routine 2:0 win at Angers last weekend extended their winning run to three matches. A strong run of form has seen LOSC win four of five league games played since the start of April.
At the Decathlon Arena, Bruno Génésio's side have picked up victories in each of their last four matches, while they have only failed to win two of ten previous home Ligue 1 fixtures.
Equally strong in previous home matches against Marseille, Lille claimed the spoils in each of their last four games against Les Phocéens at the Decathlon Arena.
Marseille head north after a pair of high-scoring home wins in the past fortnight. Roberto de Zerbi's side scored nine goals in commanding victories against Montpellier (5:1) and Brest (4:1) to extend their winning streak to three in home fixtures.
However, on the road, Les Phocéens have been less impressive, with defeats suffered in each of their last four away Ligue 1 games. Very much hit or miss on their travels, Marseille won ten but lost six of 16 away league fixtures this season.
In what is sure to be a competitive and high-tempo contest, I expect Lille to maintain their strong home form with another victory on Sunday.
A home win is my best bet at Decathlon Arena.
