Lille vs Nice Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Thobelani Moyo in Ligue 1 Predictions
Lille, searching for their first win of the year, welcomes Nice to the Stade Pierre Mauroy on matchday 18 of the Ligue 1. Lille are fifth in the table and closely trail Nice, who are in fourth. Here's our match prediction.
Lille flexed their credentials as six-time champions in the Coupe de France as they beat 10-time champions Marseille 4-3 on penalties in the last 32 after playing out a 1-1 draw in regular time on Tuesday.
As a result of that win, the Mastiffs are now unbeaten in 20 games across all competitions (W11, D9) since a 2-0 Champions League defeat against Sporting Lisbon on September 17, 2024.
A return to league action sees the team aiming to return to winning ways. Bruno Genesio's men were held to a scoreless draw against ten-man Auxerre. This marked their third consecutive league draw.
Nice also managed to come out on top in the French Cup round of 32 as they beat Bastia 1-0 away from home, thanks to a second-half Mohamed-Ali Cho strike.
The team has typified consistency in the league and come into this match after a 4-2 away win against Reims marking their second win on the bounce since the turn of the year.
However, it's worth mentioning that the Eaglets have avoided defeat in their last four league matches (W3, D1) but failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those matches.

Our Lille vs Nice Prediction
Lille will head into this match looking to record their first win of the year after two failed attempts. However, their chances of doing so appear slim, managing just one win from their last seven matches in this fixture.
Nice, meanwhile, have performed much better during the aforementioned run with three wins in their name. They can't be entirely written off from causing an upset. In their last meeting, both sides canceled each other in a 2-2 draw and a similar result is to be expected in this one. Our Lille v Nice prediction is for Over 2.5.
