Lille take on the visitors Marseille in the round 28 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, April 5th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq).
Lille surprised everyone in 2021, managing to even surpass PSG and clinch the championship title. But after that, they naturally faded into the background again. By hiring Paulo Fonseca before the start of last season, they clearly wanted to at least partially regain their positions, albeit without aiming for the trophy. Initially, the Portuguese managed to secure fifth place. Currently, while also competing in the Conference League (where the French will play against Aston Villa in the quarterfinals next week), the team is striving to break into the top three. They are not succeeding in everything, but their opponents are not showing much stability either. Nonetheless, the 2-1 victory over Lens in the last round was an excellent result.

Marseille have been busy with coaching changes this season. Olympique managed to secure third place in Ligue 1 last season. However, after that, they decided to bet on Marcelino. However, this coach left in the fall under pressure from the fans. He was replaced by Gattuso, which calmed things down, but only until the end of winter. Gennaro was removed when it became clear that there was a risk of completely failing the season. The current coach, Gasset, progressed in the Europa League against Shakhtar (although the draw in Hamburg was still under the Italian) and Villarreal, and started the championship promisingly with three wins. However, before the break for international matches, it all ended with a 0-2 loss to Rennes. The match against PSG after the break for international matches ended in the same manner.
Last season, the Provencals interrupted their five-game winless streak. But then the Dogs managed to win at home and, in the current season, played to a goal-filled draw during their visit to the Vélodrome. The Dogs are strong and playing at home. Let's take the risk to believe that they will win.
Prediction for the match: Lille to win.
