Olympique Marseille - Lille betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Olympique Marseille as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Lille winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Olympique Marseille, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The 0:2 victory Olympique Marseille pulled off at Auxerre last round was quite predictable, but it was still a convincing show of force. They dominated the proceedings throughout the match, more than earning the 3 points.

Lille recorded an impressive 1:3 in their previous Ligue 1 match against Montpellier. The game remained a stalemate for the first 45 minutes – while Lille were considered somewhat stronger going in, they were still playing as visitors. They broke the stalemate in the second half, ending the game on a clear-cut 1:3.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Olympique Marseille attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

Looking over their most recent appearances, Lille have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net. The past 3 home games saw them concede over 5 times.

Considering their strong relative form, the home team has a great shot at closing some of the 0 -point difference they need to take the lead in the standings.

Though it’s hard to say Lille started the season on a strong note, their fairly decent table position is at risk. Beating Olympique Marseille will be no easy task – but it’s a necessary step if they ever wish to reach the Europa qualifying spots.

Even though Olympique Marseille are the favourites to win this showdown, they’ve been known to have issues fighting Lille in the past. For instance, they lost this matchup quite badly last season.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
