That was the third match out of their past six that ended in a split game. For the season, both teams had six draw games, but only one in their last five league matches. Lille has been doing well lately in their home stadium winning three matches and drawing on a couple of occasions. Lyon has the same winning record in the last five away games, but only one draw.
Under 2.5 Goals
Lille has played three out of their last five games with over 2.5 goals, while Lyon had four of those matches.
