Lille hosts St. Etienne in round 37 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, May 16th at Stade Pierre-Mauroy (Villeneuve d'Ascq)
The Great Danes will miss the first line only in one case — if they don’t manage to realize their own advantage. After a draw of PSG in the last round, Lille needs to score four points in two rounds. The opponents are Ligue 1 middle peasants who do not need anything: Angers and Saint-Etienne. And if the former show generally good football, the latter look frankly bad. It's not about the opponents. It's about the Great Danes themselves. It is very difficult to take points away from the hosts if we look at their defense. And after Celik and Yilmaz stepped up, Lille began not only to score but also to score a lot. And the Danes won against their pursuers. A devastating victory over Lens in the last round, a confident win over Nice, a perfect result with Lyon… I do not see any reason why the leader will lose points in the match against the middle peasant.

At the end of the championship, St. Etienne began to score points and managed to get out of the dangerous relegation zone. The Greens have retained their place in the elite but continued to show football of dubious quality in matches against the leaders. Defense is at the level of outsiders, and Saint-Etienne could not get out of the crisis after the start of the championship. Problems with conversion, injuries to players, incomprehensible tactics... Puel is trying to rebuild his team for the second season in a row, but the French specialist fails. Bookmakers do not believe in Saint-Etienne, and this is perfectly logical.
Lille needs three points. I doubt Galtier will choose careful tactics. Yes, the Great Danes should play with an eye to their penalty area, but they must score. The coach has a very good selection of players in the attack. And it might even be a problem. The end of matches on several fronts helped the hosts. If they score three goals against Lyon away, they are simply obliged to win a landslide victory over the Greens. And I suggest betting on at least two goals scored by Lille.
Prediction for the match: Lille to score over 2.0 goals
