Marseille vs Lille Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both teams are in great form coming into this game

Marseille will be back in Coupe de France action and will host Lille in the round of 32 of the competition. The Olympians are having a tremendous season and are sitting second in Ligue 1. They registered a comfortable 4-0 win over St. Étienne in the previous round and are coming into this one as slight favourites. Visiting Stade Vélodrome is always difficult for the opposition and will serve as an advantage for Les Minots.

Lille on the other hand are coming into this clash on the back of their 19-game unbeaten streak. They won 1-0 against FC Rouen in the previous round of the competition. The Mastiffs have handed losses to the likes of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid this season. They possess the individual quality and team chemistry to win against any team and this will make their matchup unmissable.
