Two more rounds to go in the French Ligue 1 and Olympique Marseille will havea relaxed trip to OSC Lille after grabbing the champions title last week.

Lille on the other hand need nothing else but a victory in this match if they are to hold chances to the second spot they now hold. Their biggest threat is Lyon which sit just 2 points behind with one match less played and with very good odds of surpassing them as their schedule is far easier.

Only 2 victories for them in the last 5 matches played but still retaining the best statistic for home play with 13 victories and 3 draws in all 18 played and an impressive goal ratio of 43 scored and only 13 conceded.

Olympique Marseille managed to beat the odds, and with a superb push in the last stages grabbed the title of champions in France. They won the last 5 matches played but it’s pretty sure that they will not push as hard in this match.

They hold the best statistic for away play with 9 victories and 6 draws in 18 played but it’s hard to see them grabbing any points from this as Lille are very motivated to fight for their chance at a Champions League spot.

My pick: Lille to win
