Lille are very close to another Ligue 1 title; they need four points from their remaining two matches to complete what has been an amazing season domestically. They will be hosting St. Etienne in the penultimate round of matches in Ligue 1. Heading to the game they top the standings with 79 points, three ahead of second placed PSG. The league leaders go to this game unbeaten in their last six league matches, with five wins in there and having scored two goals or more in four. They have the best defense in the league and head to this game with two straight clean sheets, and four in the last six. This being their final home game, Lille will want to sign out in style, and coming from a 3-0 win over Lens gives them the right motivation. Turkish international Burak Yilmaz has been a top performer for the league leaders this season and he goes to this game with six goals in the last five matches in the league. Lille haven’t been stable at home in their recent matches, winning just two of the last six but they registered a 2-0 win over Nice in their last home game. In the last eight matches at home in the league, Lille have lost just once.

St. Etienne will be seeking a third straight win as they head to this game. The team is currently placed 11th with 45 points and can’t finish in European slots. The best they can manage is a mid table finish and they go to this game with four wins and three losses in seven matches. Both sides have scored in four of St Etienne’s last five matches and the four have seen over 2.5 goals scored. They are coming from a 1-0 win at home to Marseille and will hope to extend their away run after winning three of the last four in the league.
