Lille will host Olympique Marseille at the Stade Pierre Mauroy on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and continue their push for a return to the UEFA Champions League. They beat Lens 2-1 in their last match, with Kosovo international Edon Zhegrova scoring a goal in either half before their opponents netted a consolation goal late in the game.
Lille sit fourth in the league table with 46 points from 27 games. They are seven points above their midweek opponents in seventh place and will be looking to widen that gap even further on Friday.
Olympique Marseille, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch of late and are now falling behind in the race for continental football.
They were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Paris Saint-Germain in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game but could not find a way past Gianluigi Donnarumma in the opposition goal despite holding the numerical advantage for the entirety of the second half.
