Lille welcome Olympique Marseille to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy for a French Ligue 1 match on Saturday evening. Lille are in danger of slipping out of the European places as they are one point away from their closest rival on 6th position as they occupy the 5th position in the league table on 60 points. They played a goalless draw with Monaco in their last outing. On the other hand, Marseille will secure a top three berth if they beat Lille on Saturday evening. They are currently occupying the third position in the league table on 73 points, 13 points away from their opponents. They defeated Angers in their last outing by 3-1 scoreline. Marseille have a healthy lead against their closest rival on the 4th position, whom they are leading by eight points. With three games to go, a win or a draw almost guarantees their Champions league spot as they have a healthy goal difference against Monaco. I will be expecting a win or a draw for Marseille for the following reasons:

Firstly. Lille are not in a very good form at the present. They have failed to win in their last two games, while also having failed to score a goal in that time. They have recorded only two wins in their last six games. They have been inconsistent so far throughout the season. Lille can pack a punch on a good day, but they have a poor recent record against the league top teams.

Secondly. Marseille are on a good form recently. They have won four and drawn one of their last six games in the league. They have stepped up their game this season, and will be intent on cementing their place in the top three. Their away form this season has been impressive as well. They boast the second-best away record in the Ligue 1 this season; they have lost only two of their 17 away games this season. Also, the form of Alexis Sanchez and Payet is something to cheer for. They will be looking to make their mark in this fixture.

Marseille are the clear favorites to win this encounter based on their form, but Lille have actually been quite good on their home ground. They have not tasted defeat at their home ground since all the way back in August. For this reason, I should be expecting a win or a draw for Marseille.

里尔欢迎马赛奥林匹克队来到皮埃尔-莫罗伊球场观看周六晚上的法甲联赛。里尔面临着从欧洲赛场上滑落的危险，因为他们与排名第六的最接近的对手只差一分，目前他们以60分的积分排名第五。他们在上一场比赛中与摩纳哥踢了一场0比0的平局。另一方面，如果马赛在周六晚上击败里尔，他们将确保进入前三。目前他们以73分的成绩排在积分榜的第三位，比对手少13分。他们在上一场比赛中以3:1的比分击败了愤怒队。马赛以8分的优势遥遥领先于排名第四的劲敌。在还有三场比赛的情况下，一场胜利或一场平局几乎保证了他们的欧冠席位，因为他们与摩纳哥的净胜球差距很大。我希望马赛能赢或平，原因如下:

首先。里尔目前的状态不是很好。在过去的两场比赛中，他们没有赢球，也没有进球。他们在最近的六场比赛中只取得了两场胜利。到目前为止，他们整个赛季都表现不稳定。里尔可以在一个好的日子里打一拳，但他们最近在对阵联赛顶级球队的比赛中表现不佳。

其次。马赛队最近状态不错。在最近的6场联赛中，他们取得了4胜1平的成绩。他们在本赛季已经加强了他们的比赛，并将致力于巩固他们在前三名的位置。他们本赛季的客场表现也令人印象深刻。他们拥有本赛季法甲第二好的客场战绩;在本赛季的17场客场比赛中，他们只输了2场。此外，桑切斯和帕耶的状态也值得欢呼。他们希望在这场比赛中留下自己的印记。

从他们的状态来看，马赛很有可能赢得这场比赛，但里尔在主场的表现也相当不错。自从八月以来，他们还没有在主场尝到过失败的滋味。基于这个原因，我应该期待马赛取得一场胜利或平局。
