With Ligue 1 having a knack of producing underdogs every season, they have produced yet another one this time around in the form of Lille OSC. Lille won 10 games from a total of 19 games this season. Last season, they managed only to win only 10 games.

The French club is sitting at 2nd position in the table, having played an extra game over Lyon. They are riding on the back of Nicolas Pepe’s scintillating form. The French forward has scored 12 goals and provided five assists this season. Christophe Galtier is bringing out the best from the team that was considered as relegation survivors from last season.

With PSG looking set to add another Ligue 1 title to their trophy cabinet, Lille OSC will hope to have a second half similar to the first half of the season and hope to end the season on a high with a spot amongst the big boys of Europe.
