The team is in incredible form, performing extremely reliably and confidently. Lille plays their own football and doesn’t pay attention to the opponent’s attempts to speed up the game. Many teams fall into this trap, ultimately suffering devastating counterattacks and finding themselves unable to cope with the “Dogs.” Lille is unbeaten in their last seven matches, having defeated Real (1-0), Atlético (3-1), and Lens (2-0) during this period.
This is even more impressive considering the injury list is packed. It includes defenders Santos, Ismaily, Bakker, and Umtiti, as well as midfielders Haraldsson, Cabella, Bentaleb, and Mbappé. However, the players available to Bruno Génésio are sufficient to ensure that every position has a player capable of excellently fulfilling the assigned tasks.
Lyon has yet to recover from their home defeat to Turkish side Beşiktaş in the Europa League, so they played quite confidently in the championship as well. The draw with Auxerre (2-2) was hardly part of the team’s plans, as they aim to break into the leading group. Instability has been haunting Olympique for several years now, so such downturns are not surprising.
Although Lyon’s squad is as battle-ready as possible right now. The participation of midfielder Diawara and forward Mikautadze in the upcoming match is uncertain. But even if they do not play, it is hard to call this a problem for a team with such a large number of quality players.
Although last season, Olympique was a challenging opponent for Lille, so a hard-fought match is likely. Moreover, Lyon scores in almost every match, and the visitors will certainly find a goal. Therefore, we suggest betting on both teams to score. Odds: 1.57.
