Game Prediction
A new round of the Ligue 1 often starts on Friday in France. It will be the same this time, and they will begin with a rather exciting couple of the European tournament contenders: Lille will host Marseille. Which of them will be able to beat the direct competitor? The journalists of the website have made an individual prediction for the match on April 5, 2024.
Lille will try to improve its performance in the current season
“The Mastiffs” surprised everyone in 2021, managing to beat even PSG and take the championship title. Still, they logically “faded” into the background again. And by inviting Paula Fonseca before the start of the previous season, they clearly wanted to at least regain ground, even if not aiming for a trophy. To begin with, the Portuguese specialist took 5th place. Nowadays, the team, playing simultaneously in the Conference League (where the French club will compete with Aston Villa in the quarter-finals next week), is trying to get into the top 3. Not everything works out, but the rivals are not very stable either. One way or another, a 2-1 result in the struggle with Lens, which took place in the previous round, was an excellent result.
Marseille has become interested in coaching reshuffles this season
Olympique was able to defend 3rd place in the Ligue 1 at the end of previous cycle. At the same time, the management decided to bet on Marcelino after that. This mentor left the club in the autumn, under the pressure from fans. The Spanish coach was replaced by Gattuso, and everything calmed down, but only until the end of winter. Gennaro was also replaced, realizing that there was a risk of ruining the season completely. The current coach, Gasset, overcame Shakhtar (however, the draw in Hamburg was reached under the rule of the Italian specialist) and Villarreal in the Europa League, and promisingly, with 3 victories, started in the championship. Still, everything had ended with a 0-2 score in the battle against Rennes even before the break for international games. And that break for national team games was followed by the same result in the confrontation with PSG.
Previous head-to-head matches
Speaking about the previous season, “the Provencals” broke their winless streak in the fifth match. Still, then “the Mastiffs” managed to win at the home arena and, within the framework of the current cycle, reduced the trip to Velodrome to a productive draw.
