Lille vs Lyon Prediction

Lille have enjoyed a good run of form, scoring 11 goals in their last six games - winning five - and conceding twice. They are winless at home in this fixture since 2020. with their last three wins against Lyon coming away from home.

Nabil Bentaleb, Remy Cabella, Hakon Haraldsson, Ismaily, Ethan Mbappe, Tiago Santos and Samuel Umtiti remain sidelined with injuries for Lille. Alexsandro will serve a suspension, while Mitchell Bakker and Gabriel Gudmundsson are doubts.

Meanwhile, after five consecutive wins, Lyon are winless in two games. Nonetheless, they are unbeaten in four away games, scoring 10 times.

Mahamadou Diawara and Ernest Nuamah will miss out due to injuries, while Georges Mikautadze is a doubt. Mikautadze missed training earlier this week due to illness and faces a late fitness test.

Lille head into the match in great form and should capitalise on Lyon's drop in form to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Lille 2-1 Lyon
