Lille continues to fight for the champion’s title. In the 31st round, the Great Danes defeated PSG (0-1) in a head-to-head meeting and broke away from the Parisians by three points. Let’s note that before the victory over the Parisians, Christophe Galtier's team had a bad period of three matches without victories. It started with a draw against Monaco in the Ligue 1 match (0-0), and then Lille was knocked out from the French Cup, losing to PSG (0-3). After that, the Great Danes again lost points in the championship, losing to Nimes (1-2). Interestingly, they failed to score in two of the last five matches. However, Lille failed to score in only one of the last ten away matches of the championship.
As for the head-to-head meetings between Metz and Lille, the advantage is on the side of the latter. The Great Danes won three of the last five matches, and another confrontation between the teams ended in a goalless draw. Metz won only once. Interestingly, only one team scored in four out of five cases. Lille gained four of its last five victories away. Beyond that, the team has not lost any of its last ten away matches in all competitions (two draws and eight victories). At the same time, the Maroons have lost their last three home games and won only two of the last ten. We think that Lille will manage to continue its away winning streak.
Prediction for the match: Lille to win
