Marseille vs Lille Predictions

Marseille should prove too strong

Marseille look the best bet when they host Lille at Stade Velodrome on Sunday. Habib Beye’s side have been the winners in two Ligue 1 home games in a row.

They are third in the league, two places and five points ahead of Lille, with both teams having won more games than they’ve lost this season. This season, 33 (59%) of the 56 games between teams in the top half of Ligue 1 have been home wins, and backing them to a one-point level stake would have shown a profit of 27.34 points.

Marseille maintained their winning habit last week, securing a 1-0 victory over Auxerre with a second-half goal from Amine Gouiri. The hosts justified their price of 4/9 to win the game, making it 11 wins in the 18 matches in which they have been odds-on this season.

Lille may struggle to keep Marseille out. The visitors have scored three goals or more in nine of their 26 Ligue 1 games this season, and they have an impressive scoring record at home, averaging 2.54 goals per game from 13 games.

Marseille have won their last three Ligue 1 matches and have sustained just one defeat in their last ten home games. They have been winners in four of their last six league games at home.

They may be able to edge out Lille in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. There have been over 2.5 goals in 16 of Marseille’s 26 Ligue 1 matches this season, and they have won their last three league games by a goal.
