Lille vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1

Prediction published on 08/03/2023, 12:40  by Kennedy Kechula in Ligue 1 Predictions

Lille will this Friday host Lyon in Round 27 of the French Ligue 1 at the Stade Pierre Mauroy. Going into the game, Lille are sixth with 45 points while Lyon are 10th with 39 points. Paulo Fonseca’s Lille go into this match unbeaten in their last two outings and drew 1-1 with Lens last time out. Les Dogues have been on and off the boil this year which has resulted in them being eliminated from the Coupe de France (by Lyon) as well as derailing their chances of sealing a slot for next season’s Champions League campaign. They have found it hard to win matches and have managed just two wins in their last five outings across all competitions. Lille have kept one clean sheet in this run but scored in each one of those matches.

Lyon are faring a little bit better in 2023 and come into this round having lost just once in their last 10 matches across all competitions. They drew 0-0 with Lorient last time out which was the first time in six matches that they have kept a clean sheet or failed to score. Six of their last seven matches have seen at least over 2.5 goals scored and as they target a late push for a European slot for next season, they are bound to go all out here which might see another goal fest. They remain in the Coupe de France after beating Lille on penalties following a 2-2 draw in the round of 16 and they will be eager to extend their unbeaten run against them to three matches.
