The LOSC continues its positive momentum with a third consecutive win in Ligue 1 that allows it to climb on the podium. However, the Dogues’ performances still raise questions as the game approaches the OM on Sunday night (20:45). By imposing himself on Angers’ lawn (0-2), Lille confirmed its series of victories after those obtained against Toulouse (1-2) and Auxerre (3-1). Bruno Genesio’s men rose to third place in the standings, three days from the end. However, in their game, the Lilles do not seem completely serene. When asked about DAZN, analyst Walid Acherchour remains measured: “They are on the podium at the best of times, but I am not convinced by what they produce. They make the minimum union. Against Angers, even in numerical superiority for 30 minutes, they did not frankly dominate. »
Even if Lille advances thanks to its efficiency and maturity in key moments, its overall game does not completely reassure. And this Sunday, he is an opponent of a completely different calibre who stands on his way: the Olympique de Marseille. For Acherchour, this match will be a real revealing: “It will be interesting to see how they will behave against Marseille. We’ll have to count on them, but it’ll be a real test. OM, which still targets Europe, will not have the right to error at the Pierre Mauroy stadium. Faced with a solid but far from flamboyant Lille team, Roberto De Zerbi’s men may well have a card to play.
In front of Brest, De Zerbi opted for a four-way defence, a strategic choice that has borne fruit. Although OM encountered difficulties early in the game, tactical adjustment helped stabilize the team. As Walid Acherchour explains: “De Zerbi’s choices, not everything was perfect, Brest posed difficulties to OM. But I like De Zerbi’s approach, he has to adapt, talk to his players. He felt that after the result crisis, it was the right time to play four. This tactical change has allowed players like Henrique and Greenwood to express their offensive potential further. “To stimulate his team, Henrique was more active in this wing position, as was Greenwood. I like his approach, De Zerbi has been rewarded with his choices,” added the consultant.
In conclusion, Lille faces the Olympique de Marseille on Sunday night with a positive dynamic but perfect performances. OM, on the other hand, must win to maintain its European ambitions in the face of a solid but not yet sparkling Lille team.
