Game of the week: Olympique de Marseille v Lille OSC, Sunday 16:15 (UK)

Olympique de Marseille are not exactly on a hot run of form, even if they have won their last two games under Habib Beye. OM are looking more solid defensively but it has certainly come at the expense of their attacking fluency, which was the hallmark of this side under Roberto De Zerbi. Those two results have put them in the driving seat for a place on the podium in Ligue 1 and Lille OSC are one of the sides playing catch-up. Like Marseille, LOSC are struggling going forward and are coming off the back of an elimination from the UEFA Europa League at the hands of Aston Villa. It is a game that will leave them mentally and physically drained going into this game. OM have not exactly been at their best in recent weeks, but they may not have to be to get past Bruno Genesio’s side.
