Basement club Lyon could find the going tough as they face top-four side Lille in Ligue 1 in this round. This match will be played at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday with the hosts bottom with seven points from 11 matches while the visitors are 4th with 20 points. Lyon have just one win from their 11 matches, losing six of the remaining ten. That win has come in their last match though, where they defeated Rennes 1-0. That still keeps them five points behind safety, but they are picking up momentum at the right moment. They have five points across their last four league games, losing just once in the process. Lyon also have avoided defeat in three of their last four home Ligue 1 matches, which gives them hope of getting something from this game.

Lille start this round four points behind third-placed Monaco but with Reims on the same tally, they can’t afford to lose here. The visitors went into the international break on the back of an unbeaten six-game run. That sequence saw them win and draw thrice, but their last two matches have been draws. Lille have been one of the best defensive sides in the division, conceding just 11 goals. Only Nice and PSG have a better defensive record ahead of this round, which should come to their rescue. Additionally, Lille have lost only one of their last 13 Ligue 1 matches against Lyon and they look well-placed to continue that record on this trip.
