Is Olympique de Marseille about to begin a decline? Unstoppable during the fanfare debut of Jean-Louis Gasset, Marseille has experienced a slight downturn in recent weeks with three consecutive defeats, the last of which was in the clasico lost at home against Paris, which was reduced to ten men (0-2). .
Qualified for the quarter-finals of the Europa League (against Benfica, April 11 and 18), the Olympians must quickly recover if they do not want to see all the hopes of a satisfactory season disappear. But this will not be easy on Friday evening in Ligue 1 (28th day), against an opponent who is doing quite well: LOSC.
Particularly biting in March, the Mastiffs remain in six matches without defeat (3 wins, 3 draws) and seem guided by increasingly high ambitions at the end of the season. Also in the quarterfinals of a European Cup (the Europa Conference League, against Aston Villa) and fourth in the Championship, Paulo Fonseca's men can climb onto the podium in the event of success at home against Marseillais outside the European places (7th).
The match between Lille and Marseille is scheduled to kick off at 9 p.m. this Friday, April 5. The match will be broadcast live on Prime Video.
