Lille take on the visitors Marseille in the round 32 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, April 4th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq).
Lille have now shifted their focus to the domestic campaign. The Dogues left mixed impressions last season. On the one hand, they failed to overtake the surprisingly resurgent Brest and had to settle for fourth place. That summer, Paulo Fonseca left for Milan and was replaced by Bruno Génésio. He guided the club from the Champions League qualifiers all the way to the round of 16, though they crashed out tamely to Borussia Dortmund — after a promising 1-1 draw away, they took the lead at home but ended up losing. Despite that disappointment, the players are now trying to concentrate on Ligue 1. Recent league form has been encouraging, with wins over Lens, Toulouse, and Montpellier — although they did suffer a heavy defeat against Lyon. Last weekend, they earned a confident 2-0 victory over Angers, showing more consistency at both ends of the pitch. Génésio’s side now looks more balanced, with the attack finding rhythm and the defense conceding fewer chances.

Marseille had grown used to consistent top-tier finishes in recent years. But the 2023/24 campaign turned into a disaster, ending outside of the European qualification spots. Unsurprisingly, the club underwent significant changes. Roberto De Zerbi was brought in to lead the revival, and the squad was reinforced with the likes of Greenwood, Højbjerg, Maupay, and Rabiot. The performances have improved, although stability remains an issue. Fortunately, direct rivals have also dropped points, keeping the race for second place wide open. The 0-3 defeat to Monaco in April was a blow, but they bounced back by thrashing Montpellier 5-1. They followed that up with another emphatic result, beating Brest 4-1 in their most recent outing. The team’s attack looks dangerous again, and they are scoring freely in recent weeks.
Three of the last four meetings ended in draws. The only win during that span went to Lille — and they also eliminated Olympique from the cup on penalties. Lille should be able to get a result at home — back the hosts with a draw no bet option.
Prediction for the match: Lille to win with 0.0 handicap.
