Marseille v Lille
Saturday 16:00
Dijon 2 Lyon 5 in eastern France last night. After Remy on Wednesday and Januzaj on Thursday, yet more underwhelming Premier Leaguers played big hands. Lyon's first goal, which set the tone after just four minutes, came from Memphis Depay - ably assisted by Rafael. What might have been, Jose?
We're headed south today for fourth-placed Marseille's Ligue 1 clash with third-bottom Lille. Last time out at the Velodrome, Marseille failed to score for the first time in 29 league games there. We fancy Rudi Garcia's men to right that wrong today. France's second and final automatic Champions League place is still within reach and we expect L'OM to go hard at their weaker opponents.
But Lille aren't complete no hopers. Christophe Galtier's men have played top-10 sides in each of their last four away games and the results read: 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 2-2.
Earlier this season, when Marseille hosted the teams below Lille in the table, they won 6-3 and 3-1. L'OM have won 7/8 hosting teams now in the bottom half so, at a juicy price, we're backing L'OM to win another high scorer today.
