Marseille hosts Lille in round 12 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, November 2nd at Stade Vélodrome (Marseille)
Marseille is on the 7th place in the French championship standings. The team earned 16 points in 11 games. After a good start to the season, Marseille managed to gain only one victory over Strasbourg (2-0) in the last six games. This is largely due to not very high performance in the attack (12 goals in 11 matches), and the Olympians scored as many as four in one match.

Lille joined the leading group, being in 3rd place. The team gained 18 points in 11 rounds. The difference of scored-conceded goals is 17-11. Lille failed to score a goal in only one championship match against Reims, in which it lost 0-2.
In the match between Marseille and Lille, I decided to offer a total of under 2.5 goals for the bet, and I will explain why. Marseille held five matches at the home stadium and didn’t score more than two goals in any of them. Lille scored three goals in only one of five away matches. It was a match with Toulouse, where the score was 0-0 before the 58th minute and everything implied the next low-scoring match, but the teams scored three goals then, and the last one happened in the 93rd minute of the match. The last head-to-head game on Marseille’s pitch was played in January 2019. Then the score was 1-2, but two goals were scored in 94th and 96th minutes, which was unbelievable. In general, given the low-performance in the home matches of Marseille and away matches of Lille, as well as certain recessions in the game of the best forwards of both teams, I think that betting on Under 2.5 goals is a very good option.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
