A crucial match. In the wake of their qualification at least for the Champions League play-offs Wednesday against Sturm Graz (3-2)this shock against Marseille is surely the most important of the season in the championship. Three points behind their evening opponent and Monaco (third), Lille has the opportunity to prove that it is indeed part of the class above. That of the serious contenders for the first three places in Ligue 1.

Especially since Bruno Génésio finds a rich squad with the returns for this 15th day of André Gomes and Edon Zhegrova. “With injuries, we often played with the same players for a while,” analyzes the coach at a press conference. “The ghosts bring physical but also mental freshness. It’s essential.”
A young group, equipped – almost completely – with its best elements, with various options in the tactician’s game. This OM-LOSC comes at the right time.
Reach the peaks
It’s going to take a bit of everything to get rid of Marseille, PSG’s dashing runner-up, but above all solidity. Its attack, the second best in the championship (31 goals scored), has heated up well during the Phocaeans’ last three successes with three goals scored on the Lens pitch and two against Monaco and Saint-Étienne.
Element that can work in favor of the Dogues: Marseille has the fourth worst home record in the championship with 8 points acquired at the Vélodrome out of 18 possible (2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats).
But you don’t have to go back very far to see the trace of the last victory for Marseille on their lawn: it was on December 1, against Monaco (2-1).
Match to follow from 4 p.m. on France Bleu Nord
Quite a challenge for the people of Lille to experience from 4 p.m. on France Bleu Nord with Simon Jarnier and Sylvain Charley. Kick-off at 5 p.m. Kevin Verbrugghe, referee and arbitration advisor for the Artois and Côte d’Opale districts, will be present in the studio to analyze the performances of the men in yellow during this meeting and Auxerre-Lens from 7 p.m.
