Game Prediction
The football season will resume in the “club” format after the traditional break of almost 2 weeks on Friday evening. One couple from the French Ligue 1, along with the Primera, will also start competing at this time. There it was decided to begin with a duel between ambitious Lille and Lens. The experts of the website have made their prediction for the battle on March 29, 2024.
Lille is spending a very successful season
“The Mastiffs” invited Paula Fonseca to the coaching position last summer. One can’t say that he met all the expectations (and the expectations of champion 2021 are quite ambitious), but for starters, the specialist managed to finish in the top 5. This time, the club, while simultaneously successfully playing in the Conference League (the representative of France has already reached the quarter-finals there, and the duel with Aston Villa will be the highlight of the round), is claiming a place in the top 3 at the inner arena. And the fact that there were draws in March, albeit with rather strong opponents, Rennes and Brest (the latter one happened on the away field), is more likely to be a loss of points than a positive result. Thus, the team, during the pause associated with national team games, was staying in 4th position, with 3-point distance to Monaco.
Lens predictably did not hold his position last season
“The Blood and Gold” returned to the Ligue 1 in 2020, after a clearly prolonged pause. Having spent a couple of years getting used to the old-new level, Franck Haise’s team became a sensation of the previous season – it finished in 2nd place, right behind the undisputed grandee, PSG. Still, it was “a leap over the head”. Nowadays, the club, having spent a lot of effort at the international stage (3rd place in the Champions League group, a dramatic elimination from Freiburg in the extra time of the 1/16 Europa League confrontation), has lost ground. It will clearly claim a place in the European tournament zone in the spring. And it’s not for nothing that March began with a couple of victories, which, however, were followed by a defeat made by Nice at the home arena – 1-3.
Previous head-to-head matches
The clubs have alternately proved stronger than each other in recent years. Speaking about the previous season, “the Mastiffs” got 4 points against the future vice-champion and played a 1-1 draw on the away field in the autumn.

We would venture to assume that Fonseca’s wards will get the most out of the match with what has become a convenient opponent even now. We bet on the hosts to win (odd: 2.07).
