Lille hosts Amiens in the French Coupe de la Ligue quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 8th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq)
Lille’s start of the new season went awry. It lost its first games and could win only occasionally, and because of this, the team was in the middle of the tournament standings for a long time. The situation in the international arena was very bad either. Lille disgustingly approved itself in the group stage of the Champions League. As a result, the team left the tournament and could not even cling to the Europa League. Of course, the rivals were very strong: Chelsea, Valencia, and Ajax. But the result of Lille suggests that the team cannot compete at least somehow. For the entire period of the group stage, the club could not win a single victory. It had only one draw and five defeats. The Great Danes managed to score only four goals but conceded many times more. After the club’s management realized that the team couldn’t count on anything in the Champions League, it was decided to correct the position in the national championship. In general, Lille did it a little more efficiently. Currently, the team takes fourth place. In the last match of the French Cup, Lille played against Monaco and suffered a crushing defeat with a 3:0 score. And a few days later, Lille suffered another big defeat to the same opponent (1:5), only within the framework of the national championship.

In the last season of the main French championship, Amiens finished its performance in 15th place. It had problems in almost all lines of the field. The team had one of the weakest attacks among all the participants in Ligue 1. The defense line was not good either - the team conceded a lot and often. In fact, nothing has changed in the game of Amiens. Now the club is in the relegation zone, in 18th place. It still scores a little and concedes a lot. Over the entire period of the new season, the team managed to gain only four victories. Besides, it tied five times and lost nine matches. Recently, the game of Amiens has worsened even more. It suffers defeats regularly. And its matches end with a crushing score very often. Previously, the club played more accurately, occasionally won and often played in a draw. The club was gaining points at least somehow, but the current situation is simply awful. In the last match of the championship, the team played against PSG and, as expected, suffered another crushing defeat with a 1:4 score. The club has already played two matches in the French Cup. It hardly managed to cope with Angers and Rennes. Both matches ended with the same score (3:2).
We think Lille will manage to win in the upcoming match. The team completed its performances in the international arena, therefore it will be able to pay enough attention to the French Cup, and most importantly, to prevent such shameful defeats as it was at the beginning of the season.
Prediction for the match: Lille to win
