What poster at the opening of the 28th day of League 1. As the French championship teams enter the final stretch, Lille welcomes another contender for European places, Olympique de Marseille. Fourth in Ligue 1, three points behind AS Monaco, 3rd, Lille have the opportunity to take a big step towards European qualification at the end of the season. For this clash, Paulo Fonseca will be without Samuel Umtiti, Angel Gomes and Andrej Ilic, while Rafael Fernandes, Tiago Morais and Adam Ounas are uncertain. At a press conference, the Portuguese coach returned to the importance of this meeting: “It’s the truth. Because if we win, it will be very difficult for Marseille to make up for these 10 points. After this match, there will only be six matches and therefore 18 points to distribute. But the same, if we lose tomorrow , we will only have six matches to catch up. The other teams will also have difficult matches but I repeat we have to think about ourselves.”
On the Marseille side, the club. Marseille remains on three defeats in a row, including two in the league. Once again, Jean-Louis Gasset faces many absentees: Chancel Mbemba, Bamo Meïté, Valentin Rongier, Bilal Nadir, Jean Onana, Amir Murillo, Jonathan Clauss and Ismaïla Sarr. In the race for the Champions League, a result is almost obligatory for the Marseille players who are aware of it: “Tomorrow, we have to restart. It’s the last team we faced away from home that is above us (in the standings). If we have the opportunity to come back a little bit… It’s an important match, the players are aware of it. We still have our future in our hands.”, declared the Marseille coach. Facing the best team in the championship at home with 30 points taken out of 46, Lille is formidable at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, as Jean-Louis Gasset pointed out: “Lille is a very good team. It’s a club that works very well. I know the president (Olivier Létang), I appreciate the coach for his work, even if I don’t know him personally. When we see him play Lille, this amalgamation between veterans, who lead by example, and young players, like Yoro, Zhegrova or David, they really deserve. They are the best team at home, with 30 points taken out of 46. In their stronghold, there they are, it’s up to us to get past this stage, to restart something.”
