Get ready for a high-octane Ligue 1 clash as Lille hosts Marseille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy! This Friday evening fixture promises fireworks, pitting two of the league's top-scoring teams against each other.
Lille's Late Show Specialists
Lille has a knack for dramatic finishes, often scoring crucial goals in the dying minutes. They secured a 1-0 victory against Le Havre with a late goal, marking their third win in the last four league games. Bruno Genesio's squad has tallied 14 Ligue 1 goals in the final 10 minutes of matches this season, with four being match-winners. They are aiming to equal their longest winning streak of the campaign and draw level with Marseille in third place.
Fortress Stade Pierre-Mauroy
Lille boasts an impressive home record, remaining undefeated in their last four league games at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, outscoring opponents 12-4. Their attacking prowess is evident, having found the net in six consecutive matches across all competitions. A victory on Friday would mark their fourth consecutive home league win, matching their best run in the top-flight this year.
Marseille's Title Ambitions
Marseille missed an opportunity to claim the top spot in the league after dropping points against Toulouse. Roberto De Zerbi’s side has conceded four stoppage-time goals this season, costing them valuable points. However, they are currently on a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions and a win could temporarily propel them to the top of the table.
