Lille vs Nice Prediction & Picks - Ligue 1
by Tyler Doty | in Soccer Picks
It's one of the big games of Matchday 18 in Ligue 1. Two top-four contenders go head-to-head this Friday at 3:05 pm EST. Lille host OGC Nice at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. After 3 consecutive draws in the league, Les Dogues have slipped back to 5th place in the standings. Now, just before their return to the Champions League and a clash with Liverpool, Lille are looking to get back on track in Ligue 1. A win would put them back in the top 4.
Indeed, OGC Nice are just ahead in the standings. The Aiglons are in 4th place in Ligue 1, 1 point ahead of Lille. They are in good form at the moment, with 2 league wins in a row. Franck Haise's men are also proving to be very effective offensively. So, logically, we can expect to see some goals during this clash. And that's exactly what we're predicting.
