Game Prediction
As part of the 32nd round of the French Ligue 1, Lille and Lyon will play on May 6, 2024. The hosts are trying to finish the season in 3rd place. The guests are unlikely to advance to the European tournament zone, but are preparing to compete for the trophy in the national cup format.
Key statistics and trends:
- Lille has lost at the home arena in all competitions only once – to Reims in September.
- Fonseca’s wards won 4 times in a row on the native field, but were still knocked out of the Conference League.
- Speaking about 8 out of 9 Lyon’s away matches, 3 or more goals were scored. The only exception was the 2-0 success in the battle against Lorient.
Lille – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club’s claims to high places are justified
“The Mastiffs” were close to beating Aston Villa in the Conference League. They led by 2 goals at the home arena after a 1-2 win in Birmingham, but the English club took advantage of a goalkeeper error in the end, and Emiliano Martinez traditionally won the penalty shoot-out. At the same time, there were 6 matches in the championship without defeat and 3 victories in a row. And only Monaco, which took a 1-0 victory at the home arena, interrupted this series. However, then there was clearly more digestible Metz, which the team beat with a 2-1 result on the native field.
Lyon – the shape of the team and its analysis: the place in the table does not reflect the team’s current potential
“The Weavers” made it to the final of the national cup. PSG, which has recently defeated its opponent with a 4-1 score in a “rehearsal” as part of the championship, is waiting for them. Still, Pierre Sage’s team had got a series of 4 victories and a draw in the struggle with Reims before. Moreover, the team has won 11 of 15 previous Ligue 1 matches, and only a disastrous first lap does not allow it to break into the European tournament zone. One way or another, there was enough courage so far, and the club even beat Monaco in the shoot-out of the previous round.

This is a duel between the teams that reached the peak of their form by the end of the season. It will be extremely entertaining – both sides are actively scoring, but are not ideal in defence. We bet on “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.77).
