Lille and Lyon meet in a match in the stage with the number 28 of Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, from 20:00 pm on Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Lille has shown excellent form in the last stages of the championship. Christophe Galtier’s team has won five of the last six games played in Ligue 1, four of them having managed to keep their gate intact. On its own ground, Lille has the 3rd best defense in France, with only 9 goals received in 14 matches, the first place being occupied by Lyon (equal to Reims), with 7 goals received.
The Olympique team ended their series of three victories in a row in all competitions after the failure in the semifinals of the French Cup, 1-5 on their own field with PSG. Until that failure, Lyon was undefeated in the last five games played in all competitions, the period in which they received a single goal.
-In this season’s Ligue 1 tour, Lille prevailed on the field of Olympique with a score of 1-0;
-Between the two championship duels, the two teams played in the League Cup of France, where Lyon prevailed after the draws;
-Until the first meeting of this season there were 3 consecutive draws, all with the same score, 2-2;
-In 6 of the last 7 direct confrontations both teams scored;
Lille: Maignan – Celik, Fonte, Gabriel, Bradaric – Icone, Sanches, Andre, Bamba – Osimhen, Remy;
Absent: Yusuf Yazici, Timothy Weah (injured);
Lyons: Lopes – Tete, Marcelo, Denayer – Rafael, Tousart, Caqueret, Cornet – Traore, Ekambi, Cherki;
Absent: Youssouf Kone, Memphis Depay, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Oumar Solet (injured), Marcal (suspended);
Lyon is ranked 3rd in the team rankings with the most points obtained so far this season. However, Lille is a feared team on its own ground, where they have suffered only two failures this season in Ligue 1, 1-2 with Marseille and 0-2 with PSG. We bet at least one point won by hosts, but also at least two goals scored in the match.
PREDICTION: Lille to win @ 2,15
