Lyon to edge out Lille

Lyon vs Lille OSC - 03/12/2019

02/12/19 4116

Lyon and Lille have experienced similar campaigns in Ligue One this season. The pair meet on Tuesday night, as they look to push towards the European spots in the French top-flight.

The duo are locked together in seventh and eighth place respectively in the French top-flight. Only OL’s superior goal difference separates the opponents in the table.

Lyon head into this clash in the better form of the two sides, having won four of their last five matches in the French top-flight. Last time out in Ligue One, Rudi Garcia’s team recorded a 2-1 win at Strasbourg.

The game was a typically high-scoring Lyon game, as four of OL’s last five league encounters have produced over 2.5 goals. The fact that Lyon has scored at least twice in four of those aforementioned games has helped their attacking cause.

Forward pair Memphis Depay and Moussa Dembele’s form has been a big factor in OL’s attacking endeavours, as the pair have scored seven and ten goals respectively in the French top-flight.

OL’s home form in Ligue One has improved of late, as they are now three games unbeaten at the Groupama Stadium, having won their last two league matches on home soil.

Lille’s recent form in Ligue One has been inconsistent, as a 1-0 win over Dijon last time out ended a three-game winless run in the French top-flight for the visitors. In fact, Christophe Galtier’s team has won just twice in eight matches in the French top-flight.

In contrast to Lyon, Lille’s recent matches in Ligue One have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last three outings.

Lille have a woeful recent away record dating back to last season, as they have failed to win in 11 matches on their travels, including losing their last three away games.

Forebet predicts that Lyon will record a victory in a high-scoring clash, which could move Garcia’s team into the European spots.
