Lille vs Marseille Prediction and Betting Tips | December 5th 2025

Lille will welcome Marseille to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue 1 on Friday. The visitors are third in the league table and have a three-point lead over Les Dogues, who are in fourth place.

The hosts extended their winning streak across all competitions to three games last week, recording a 1-0 away triumph over Le Havre in Ligue 1. It was a close game, and substitute Hamza Igamane scored the match-winner in the 88th minute.

Les Phocéens have been in good form recently, losing just one of their last seven games across all competitions. Their winning streak ended after three games last week as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Toulouse in Ligue 1.

They conceded in the 14th minute, but goals in quick succession from Igor Paixão and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg helped them overturn the deficit in the second half. Late drama ensued as Santiago Hidalgo pulled Toulouse level in stoppage time.

Lille vs Marseille Prediction

Les Dogues kept a second consecutive clean sheet last week and will look to build on that defensive form here. They have won their last four home games, scoring at least four goals apiece in three of them.

Bruno Génésio has a few injury concerns for this match, as Alexsandro and Ousmane Touré are currently sidelined. Calvin Verdonk is a major doubt, while Olivier Giroud and Aïssa Mandi face late fitness tests. Ayyoub Bouaddi will serve a suspension here.

Les Phocéens are unbeaten in their last four games and will look to extend that run here. Notably, their three defeats in Ligue 1 this season have all been registered on their travels.

Amine Gouiri, Facundo Medina, Amir Murillo, and Hamed Traoré are the four confirmed absentees for the visitors.

Four of the last five meetings between the two teams have ended in draws in regulation time. With that in mind, and considering their defensive form, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.

Prediction: Lille 1-1 Marseille
