The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Lille lock horns with Igor Tudor's Marseille side in an important encounter at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Saturday.
Lille vs Marseille Preview
Marseille are currently in third place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been impressive so far this season. The away side eased past Angers by a 3-1 victory last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Lille, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far this season. Les Dogues were held to a 0-0 stalemate by AS Monaco in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
