Lille - Olympique Marseille betting tips and odds

Lille should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Olympique Marseille can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Olympique Marseille fans are expecting them to triumph at Lille this Tuesday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Lille and their form were in shambles last week as they barely managed to scrape together a 1:1 draw against Strasbourg . They went into the match with both a home advantage and a favourable matchup but left with a single point and a shaken confidence.

Olympique Marseille are coming off of a minor success, relatively speaking. They secured a 1:1 draw against Olympique Lyonnais, who were tagged as hard favourites going in, but never managed to pull ahead.

Lille have a strong recent history in terms of scoring as hosts. They bagged 9 goals in their previous three home games.

Olympique Marseille managed to string together 3 draws in away games. Such a result is not exactly comforting for their fans, who are hoping for a more decisive performance this Tuesday.

As the Ligue 1 season advances into its later stages, Lille are proud to be leading the pack at the very top of the standings. Considering the favourable match-up this Tuesday, their odds of taking the title seem better with every passing round.

Olympique Marseille are currently number 7th on the table, which is a somewhat awkward position. A Europa League qualification seems to be within reach, but time is quickly running out at the coming matches are stacked against them.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Lille and Olympique Marseille ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Tuesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.62. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
