Lens take on the visitors Lille in the round 26 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4th at Stade Bollaert-Delelis (Lens).
In the first half of the season, Lille performed significantly better. The team confidently held the second place in the table and even occasionally posed a serious threat to the leader, PSG. However, after the break, Frank Haise's team weakened and only managed to win three out of nine championship matches. Yes, the team is still fighting for medals and a place in the Champions League zone, but it doesn't look as confident as before. This applies to home matches, which are the main advantage of Lille. In January, they only managed to beat the modest Osers from the bottom of the table with a score of 1-0, and in February, Haise's team suffered their first defeat in the league at home, losing 0-1 to Nice. It is quite possible that they will lose points even in the match against strong "dogs" (Lille).

As for Lille, they occupied the sixth position in the table last calendar year and are still on it now. They are only two points away from the fifth position, which guarantees a spot in the Europa Conference League. In the remaining matches of the championship, "Les Dogues" will fight to reach this goal. And it must be admitted that after the break, Lille became an even more uncompromising team than before. In the previous nine league matches, they only suffered two defeats. Yes, both away from home. But in one of these matches, they lost in a shootout to PSG (3-4), and in the other, they lost 0-1 to Nice, which is just fantastic this year. The odds are in favor of "Les Dogues" to at least get a draw in the away match against Lille.
Even taking into account that in the first half of the season, Lille looked noticeably weaker than their opponents, in the previous meeting, Frank Haise's team lost 0-1. In the last face-to-face match at home, Lille also could not beat Lille - there was a 2-2 draw in the cup match. I think that this time "Les Dogues" will at least get one point at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis stadium. After all, they have almost stopped losing lately, while their opponents have almost forgotten how to win. In the last five rounds of Ligue 1, Lille only lost to the country's champion, with three victories and one draw. Over the same period of time, Lille only managed to win one match with two draws and two defeats. With all the above, the X2 bet looks quite reasonable.
Prediction for the match: Lille not to lose.
