Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Olympique Marseille will be aiming to make amends for a massive 4-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain when they host Lille at their Orange Velodrome on Matchday 12. OM can’t find their best form in the 2019/2020 season, but Saturday’s football match could be the turning point for Andre Villas-Boas’ charges. Olympique Marseille did well to beat Strasbourg 2-0 in their last home game in Ligue 1, and they are surely capable of matching Lille at their Orange Velodrome.
Summer signing Dario Benedetto is likely to lead the line for the hosts against les Dogues, and we predict that the former Boca Juniors attacker is going to make life difficult for the opposition defenders. Lille produced a splendid display in a 3-0 win over Bordeaux at home in their last league match, but beating Olympique Marseille on the road is easier said than done.

Highlighted Player (Hiroki Sakai):

Hiroki Sakai is a product of Kashiwa Reysol football academy and, as expected, he made his first-team debut with the Hitachi Kashiwa Soccer Stadium outfit. Sakai played his first ever match for Kashiwa against Kofu (1-1) on May 5, 2010 and during the 2011 season he established himself as a first-team regular.
The pacey right back made 27 appearances for Kashiva in the 2011 season and he remained at the club until the summer of 2012. Hiroki Sakai then played for Hannover (2012-2016) and he scored two goals in 92 appearances in the league for the Bundesliga club. In 2016 he joined Marseille and he played regularly for OM in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign (35 appearances).
Sakai was born in Kashiva on April 12, 1990 and 22 years later he made his senior debut for Japan, playing 45 minutes in a 2-0 win over Azerbaijan. It has to be noted that the Marseille footballer has 17 caps for Japan U23 team as well.
Highlighted Team (Lille):

Lille have been playing an important role in French football ever since they were founded in 1944. Les Dogues won their first domestic trophy in the 1945/1946 season.
Lille did well to win their second Ligue 1 title in 1954 and 57 years later they lifted their last domestic title. Les Douges finished the 2010/2011 season in top position in the standings, eight points clear of second-placed Olympique Marseille and it has to be noted that Lille attacker Moussa Sow won the Golden Boot (25 goals).
Lille are one of the two teams that managed to win three consecutive Coupe de France trophies (1946, 1947, 1948), but they have yet to clinch the Coupe de la Ligue title. Les Dogues faced PSG in the 2015/2016 Coupe de la Ligue trophy, but les Parisiens proved to be a big catch for Frederic Antonetti’s team in the title game.
Lille play their home matches at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and the capacity of the stadium is 50.186. The venue was opened in August, 2017 and the construction cost €282 million.
