Lyon vs Lille Live Stats & Betting Odds
Lyon Prediction – Can Lyon continue winning momentum?
7th placed Lyon will head into their Tuesday night clash with Lille in confident mood as the hosts have collected 4 wins out of their last 5 matches in Ligue 1 which has helped them maintain a top half position in the French top flight.
Indeed, another three points on Tuesday night on home turf at their Groupama Stadium could see the hosts move as high as 3rd place on the Ligue 1 ladder, and having registered recent wins against Metz, Toulouse, Nice and Strasbourg, Lyon look well placed to move further up the table after this encounter.
Lyon haven’t had it all their own way though so far this season as the hosts have suffered a total of 5 defeats so far this term amongst their 15 matches played, while their overall home record stands at 3-2-2 11/4.
Despite recent back-to-back defeats to PSG and Nantes, Lyon have since bounced back with a draw with Dijon before collecting back-to-back wins against Metz and Nice and no doubt they’ll be keen to record a third win on the trot here.
Lille Prediction – Can Lille win back-to-back?
A 1-0 home win against Dijon last time out in the French top flight put an end to Lille’s 3-match sequence without a win in Ligue 1 which included defeats to Marseille and PSG which were either side of a disappointing 0-0 draw at home with lowly Metz.
The visitors have picked up just 2 wins out of their last 8 matches overall in Ligue 1 which were victories over Bordeaux and Dijon, but it’s worth noting that both of these wins were recorded on home turf at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy while all of the 3 defeats within this 8-match sequence were all incurred away from home.
Indeed, Lille have still yet to register an away win in this season’s domestic top flight campaign as the visitors possess a below-par away record of 0-2-5 4/11 which includes failing to score in 3 of these 7 matches along with failing to keep a single clean sheet on their travels to date.
The bigger picture shows Lille have now endured an 11-match sequence without a win on the road in Ligue 1, and they’ll be up against a fairly strong and confident Lyon outfit on Tuesday night.
Key-Facts – Lyon vs Lille
- Lyon have won 4 of their last 5 matches overall in Ligue 1
- Lyon have lost just 3 of their last 17 home matches in Ligue 1
