Lyon vs Lille predictions for this Ligue 1 clash on Sunday at Parc Olympique Lyonnais. If Lyon wins, they are in the title race and if Lille wins, they will be one step closer to winning Ligue 1. Read on for our free 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 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.
