3rd place in the Ligue 1 table for Olympique Marseille at present, a fine campaign. The home team fans pray for more goals as 10th-placed Lille visit Orange Vélodrome.
- Olympique Marseille have the fewest conceded goals (15) in Ligue 1
- Lille have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These teams have little in common geographically as Lille have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
