The champions have not had a good season, being in 11th place with 28 points, and have just suffered a hard blow when they were eliminated from the French Cup at the hands of Lens; their objective in the following months is the Champions League, where they will face the reigning champions, Chelsea.

Marseille are currently in third place overall with 36 points and a win would put them up to second place depending on goal difference. They are on a run of four wins and one draw between league and cup.

Marseille needs a win to stay ahead of leaders PSG and will close Sunday's matchday by hosting champions Lille. Let's start with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

The balance between these two clubs has been very even in the last five matches, with two wins on each side and one draw, but Lille has been able to win the two most recent matches.

Lille 2-0 Olympique Marseille, 2021

Olympique Marseille 1-1 Lille, 2020

One of the pleasant revelations in recent months has been Amadou Onana, who has given solidity to the midfield at just 20 years old and who has a lot of arrival in the opponent's goal with a good mid-range shot.

Marseille's goal distribution has been well distributed throughout the season, although their top scorer has been Dimitri Payet, reflecting the reasons why he wears the 10 on his back, with seven goals in the 2021-22 season.

1 Ivo Grbic, 4 Sven Botman, 6 José Fonte, 2 Reinildo Mandava, 3 Tiago Djaló, 10 Renato Sanches, 8 Amadou Onana, 5 Gabriel Gudmundsson, 9 Angel Gomes, 11 Yusuf Yazici, 7 Jonathan Bamba.

16 Pau Lopez, 15 Duje Caleta-Car, 2 William Saliba, 14 Luan Peres, 29 Pol Lirola, 4 Boubacar Kamara, 7 Amine Harit, 6 Matteo Guendouzi, 10 Dimitri Payet, 11 Luis Henrique, 17 Cengiz Ünder.

Reigning French champions Lille have not lost since the end of October when they lost to PSG away and have since been able to recover from a poor start to the season, where they are tenth with 28 points; however, they have just suffered a bitter pill to swallow when they lost on penalties to Lens in the Coupe de France, which led to their elimination.

With six games without defeat between Europa League, Coupe de France and Ligue 1, Marseille return home to try to reflect their good form and consolidate their position in the top 3 of the league, being nine points behind leaders PSG.

The Marseille vs Lille match will be played at the Vélodrome Stadium, in Marseille, France. The kick-off is scheduled at 2:45 pm ET.
