Lyon vs Lille prediction: Lyon to leapfrog Lille?
Key stats
- Lyon's 4-2 defeat away to Strasbourg last time out ended a four-game winning streak.
- Lille have only scored four goals in their previous five matches.
- Lyon are unbeaten in four H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: Lyon 2-1 Lille
Lyon come into this match in better form, and with home advantage, we fancy them to beat Lille. The visitors have been largely toothless in front of goal of late, and so may not possess enough firepower to get a positive result.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Lyon favoured by bookmakers
- HOME: 6/5 (2.20) – 45.5%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As shown by the implied probabilities, Lyon are favourites to take home all three points. A Lille victory away from home is the next fancied result, followed by a draw.

Player to watch: Georges Mikautadze
Georges Mikautadze is keeping Alexandre Lacazette out of the team at the moment, and is easy to see why. His goal against Strasbourg was his eighth for club and country in just five games, while the Georgia international striker has also made a further five assists heading into Lyon's clash with Lille.
