Lille can secure a place in the Champions League. At the moment, the team has enough strength only for qualification, but it’s just a little bit short of a direct ticket. Ahead of the 28th round, the “Dogs” are in fourth place in the French championship standings, trailing third-placed “Monaco” by three points. So, in the upcoming game, they need to do everything possible to earn points. In the last three matches, “Lille” first drew with “Sturm” in the return leg (1-1), thus ensuring their place in the quarterfinals (4-1 after two games), then shared points with “Brest” (1-1), and defeated “Lens” (2-1).
Marseille, on the other hand, is currently fully focused on the Europa League. Recall that the club recently reached the quarterfinals, defeating “Villarreal” with a score of 5-3 after two games. However, the club cannot forget about the national championship, as it has many problems there. At the moment, the “Provence” team is fighting hard for a place in the European competition zone, sitting in seventh place with 39 points. It is also worth noting that in the last two rounds, “Marseille” suffered defeats. First, against “Rennes” (0-2), and then against “PSG” (0-2).
