Lille vs. Lyon Betting Preview
Lille
The hosts could yet achieve their goal of finishing in a European spot this term, as they are currently the most likely danger to the teams in the top six. They come into this fixture on Friday in slightly patchy form, as they have won once, drawn once, and lost once over their previous three. However, a victory on Friday would lift them above Rennes into fifth for at least 24 hours.
The Lille roster is likely to be concerned by their consistency, as they have picked up just six victories from their last 14 matches. That is a contrast to their form at the beginning of the season, which saw them land seven wins from 12 before the World Cup. However, this will be a monumental night for the club, as they play their 200th game at Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue 1, winning just over half of their fixtures in that period.
Their home form could be a key trend for this fixture, as they have avoided defeat in their previous ten games in the league. This is currently their longest unbeaten run since late 2020, when they went eleven without loss. But, Lille will be without a number of key players this weekend, as Tiago Djalo, Ismaily, and Bafode Diakite remain out until at least the end of the month.
Lyon
Making Lyon predictions this term has been extremely challenging, as punters aren’t sure which version of the team will turn up. On paper, this squad should have no issues competing for a place in the top six, but most of the time, they have issues putting together a solid performance across 90 minutes. That is evident by the fact that they come into this fixture sitting tenth in the Ligue 1 standings.
Lyon has won eleven of their 26 games this term, but they have also suffered nine defeats, which is the most of any team in the top half of the standings. The French side sat in this position last term, and it is the joint-lowest that they have been ranked at this stage of the season in 25 years. It certainly doesn’t aid their chances this weekend that they have won just once in their previous 12 matches against Lille.
However, the one victory that they recorded was achieved in the reverse fixture this season. Their inconsistent form this term could be put down to injury issues, and they will once again be without Anthony Lopes, Jerome Boateng, and Alexandre Lacazette this weekend.
Lille vs. Lyon Betting Picks
The Lille vs Lyon odds certainly highlights the scale of the task on the hands of the visitors this weekend. We find it very challenging to take on the hosts, who have been much more consistent throughout the season and have also been excellent in home fixtures over their last ten.
We expect this to be an entertaining showdown on Friday, but Lille winning with over 2.5 goals being scored could be a solid angle.
- Pick 1: Lille (-110)
- Pick 2: Over 2.5 Goals (-138)
