Lyon vs Lille: Predictions and Betting Tips

Lyon

Ligue 1 is very interesting this season, with only three points separating fourth place from first place. In this case, Lyon is in fourth place and Lille is in first place.

In the event that both teams finish the season on top with the same points, we would have to look at the two duels between the two teams to discover the true champion. In the first leg, the match ended 1-1.

Lyon is up to now the third best home team, with only three losses in 16 matches (They have one less game than PSG and Monaco, who are the first and the second).

Lille

After ten years, Lille is once again in with a great chance of winning Ligue 1. In that 2011 league, Lille was led by a young Eden Hazard, who we all know has been a great performer since then.

Lille’s away record is extraordinary. In 16 games they have had only one defeat, four draws and 11 wins. Moreover, in those 16 games they have conceded only nine goals to the 28 they have managed to score.

If Lille and PSG (who look set to be their main rivals until the last matchday) draw on points on the last matchday, Lille would be champions for having beaten them in one of their matches and drawn in the other.

Key Stats

• Lyon has lost two of their last five home games (They have lost three games in total in their home so far)
• Lyon has conceded at least one goal in four of their last five games
• Five consecutive away matches without losing for Lille, one draw and four wins
• In their last five away games, Lille has only conceded one goal

Lyon vs Lille Predictions

We think Lille’s form and motivation to win a title again after so many years will be decisive. Lille is a very safe away team and, as we have said, they have only lost one game out of 16 and in their last five away games they have only conceded one goal.

Lille’s defensive superiority over the other teams leads us to believe that this game will have few chances for Lyon, but Lyon is also a good team, so if Lille wins we don’t think it will be by much.
