Ligue 1 returns to the fold with an important round of matches this weekend as Lille take on Marseille on Saturday.

Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will be determined to win this game.

Lille are currently in sixth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. Les Dogues eased past Montpellier by a 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
