Lille
The Mastiffs have been performing well in home matches lately. Thus, bookmakers are overrating them ahead of their clash with Lyon.
Lille won three of their last four matches at home in Ligue 1. Their opponents were Troyes, Brest, and Strasbourg. All these are teams at the bottom of the standings that are fighting for survival in the league. When a stronger opponent (Clermont) came as a guest team, the Mastiffs didn’t even score a goal against the team in the middle of the standings (a 0-0 draw).
Lyon
Although Lyon is also in the middle of the standings in the current season, it is stronger than Clermont in terms of squad and performance. The Kids are not very consistent. However, in their last six away matches in Ligue 1, they suffered only one defeat, with four wins and one draw. And in that match, the team sensationally lost to Auxerre only because they conceded two goals within three minutes at the beginning of the second half. As such, Lyon is very decent even in away matches and is quite capable of taking points from Lille.
Prediction
Lyon has rarely lost in the championship lately. The defeat by Auxerre is the only one it has had in the last seven rounds of the league. And Lille won only once in the last three Ligue 1 matches. They also lost to Lyon in the first round of the current season (0-1). So, the visiting team is capable of earning at least a draw in this match.
In our prediction for the Lille vs Lyon match, we focus on H2(+1) and a coefficient of 1.56.
Probable result: H2(+1) and odds of 1.56.
