The OM-Lille match remains the highlight of the French Ligue 1 this weekend. As the 34th day draws to a close, Marseille will host Lille at the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday. With Marseille still in contention for European qualification, the stakes are high as they aim for a spot in the Champions League.
Following a turbulent month of March, Marseille appears to be finding its form once again. The team has secured two consecutive victories and sits just 5 points behind 4th place. After a triumphant win against Ajaccio two weeks ago amidst a charged atmosphere (3-1), OM demonstrated resilience in front of their home crowd.
Despite uncertainties about the fans’ reaction, midfielder Alaixys Romao remains optimistic. He believes that OM’s recent victories will galvanize the supporters to rally behind the team once again. “We managed to secure victories against Ajaccio and Montpellier,” Romao explained on BeIn SPORT. “This has significantly boosted our confidence. I believe the fans will respond positively on Sunday because we’ve been on a good run. Our focus is on securing a spot in the Europa League, but we’ll take each game as it comes and see where we finish in the championship.”
