Dijon hosts Lille in round 15 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 16th at Stade Gaston Gérard (Dijon)
Dijon is absolutely the worst team in Ligue 1, and it rightfully takes the last line in the standings. David Linard's team managed to gain only 9 points in 14 matches and scored only nine goals, while the goalkeeper of Dijon conceded as much as 22 times. The team gained only one "accidental" victory over Nice that found itself in a difficult situation, but in general, Dijon's game leaves much to be desired. Lille has a colossal advantage in head-to-head meetings, but one fact is remarkable - the last match at this stadium ended with a minimal victory for the hosts. This will only serve as an additional motivation factor for Lille to win in the upcoming match. Moreover, a range of key Dijon’s players will miss the meeting since the team's infirmary is overcrowded. Most likely, Dijon will lose with a difference of more than one goal.

Christophe Galtier's team managed to put 29 points in their piggy bank after 14 rounds. Together with Lyon, Lille leads the standings of the French championship. And they outrank the Parisian grandee! Lille is also doing well in the Europa League. The team took second place after Milan and secured the European Cup spring. In the previous meeting, Lille managed to beat Bordeaux at home. Having the advantage, the hosts squandered a bunch of goal attempts and won only with a minimum margin (2-1). The upcoming game should be easier for Lille, as the level of teams is too different. The visitors have practically no problems with the roster, which cannot be said about the hosts, who are suffering personnel losses in an already understaffed squad. Most likely, Lille will spend most of the meeting in the rival’s half of the field and will achieve another logical victory.
We will see the meeting of the teams from different poles of the standings. And given the staffing problems of the hosts, I believe that they have no chances. Bookmakers adequately assess this match and rightfully give preference to the championship leader. Lille is unlikely to be limited to one goal scored, but I don't want to be greedy and complicate a reliable bet with handicaps. Therefore, I will choose a clear victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Lille to win
