Liverpool hosts Manchester City in a Matchweek 6 Premier League clash. The big derby takes place this Sunday, October 11, at 16:30 at Anfield.
Lille hosts Marseille in a match from the 15th round of the French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, December 5, at 20:00 UK Time.
Form of both teams
Lille's team is in good form, having won the last three matches in all competitions. The "Dogs" defeated Le Havre 1-0 away in their last match, keeping a second consecutive clean sheet. Before that, Lille defeated Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 in the Europa League. In the second average home match, the team scored 4 goals, as they previously won 4-2 against Paris FC in the championship. Lille's team is 4th in the Ligue 1 standings - three points behind their upcoming rival Marseille.
Marseille is just two points behind league leaders Lens and will be looking to get the better of the home team in this match. Marseille are the top scorers in Ligue 1, scoring 35 goals in 14 matches. Two goals were not enough for Marseille to win in their last match - 2-2 against Toulouse at home. Marseille crushed Nice 5-1 in their last away match, recording their second consecutive away win. However, they now have a much tougher opponent in Lille and the match is expected to be quite a tight one.
Prediction for Lille - Marseille
Lille is struggling against its rivals in the fight for the top positions, losing to Lens, Lyon and Strasbourg this season. However, the team is on a streak of 4 consecutive home wins, scoring a total of 15 goals in the period. It has already been discussed how effective the Marseille team is, so I expect to see goals in both goals. You can also try a riskier prediction for success for the guests, who are the slightly classier team.
