Lille take on the visitors Lyon at “Stade Pierre-Mauroy” in the matchday 26 of the French Ligue 1. The game will be played on Sunday, February 18th.
Few years ago Lille performed in the UEFA Champions League, having showed quite decent results there, however, the team has had some serious problems in recent years. At this moment “Les Dogues” sit on the 16th place in the elite division table with 26 points earned after 25 rounds behind. The side’s offense doesn’t impress at all as it has scored 23 goals while its defense is a complete disaster with 39 goals conceded. In the previous clashes conducted at “Stade Pierre-Mauroy” Lille have been broken 0:3 by Paris SG, managed to beat Strasbourg 2:1 and lost to Rennes 1:2.

Finally, Lyon have started to get back to their previous level. The club became one of the leaders of the French Ligue 1 but what is more important – the team demonstrates solid football. “Les Gones” currently occupy the fourth position in the French Ligue 1 standings with 48 points taken after 25 encounters played. Lyon have extremely powerful attack which has already scored 54 goals while their defense is doing not so well, having conceded 30 goals. In the recent games conducted on the road the team has beaten Montpellier 2:1, lost to Monaco 2:3 and Bordeaux 1:3.
Lille celebrated 2:1 triumph over Lyon in the latest head-to-head. Nevertheless, at this point the visitors look much better than their upcoming rival as “Les Dogues” stay in a bad shape now, therefore, I assume the hosts will fail in the Sunday fight.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win.
