One of the derbies of Round 27 in Ligue 1 will be played at the Velodrome, where Marseille welcome Lille. The table is starting to take shape – PSG and Lens are expected to battle for the title, while Marseille, Lille, and a few other teams will fight for Champions League spots and other European positions until the end of the season.

Marseille had a disappointing Champions League campaign, exiting in the league phase, but they have maintained a solid rhythm in the domestic league and currently sit third with 47 points, two more than Lyon in fourth place.

On the other side, Lille are fifth with 44 points. Their European run ended in the Europa League Round of 16 with a loss to Aston Villa, but they are in good form domestically, going five matches unbeaten. In the previous round, they secured an important away win against Rennes, overtaking them in the standings.

Marseille have been extremely strong at home this season. At the Velodrome, they have beaten Lens, PSG, Lyon, and other top teams, with their only defeat coming against Nantes in a match where they played with ten men from the 30th minute. It is clear that Marseille thrive in big games in front of their fans. Greenwood and his teammates gain extra motivation in such matches, so I expect an aggressive approach from the start, control of possession, and constant pressure on Lille’s defense. With that kind of performance, a home win looks like a realistic outcome.
