Nice vs Lille Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The last two games between Nice and Lille have ended in draws, but overall, it's fair to say that the home side have the recent historic edge. They have won three of their last six games with Lille, and have only lost at home to them once dating back to 2018.
• Nice are on an impressive run and have not lost since September 14. Most recently, they have beaten both Monaco and Brest, with these two wins propelling them up into the top five. In Europa League action, meanwhile, Franck Haise's men are yet to win a game and most recently drew with FC Twente.
• In identical fashion to their opponents this weekend, Lille are also riding a six-game unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 dating back to mid-September. However, they are also unbeaten in their last three Champions League games and have collected wins over Spanish giants Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
• Both Nice and Lille's recent climbs up the table have been predicated by strong defenses. Both sides have only conceded nine goals this season, with only three other Ligue 1 sides conceding fewer.
• Lille's Jonathan David is currently in joint-second position in the race to decide Ligue 1's top scorer. The Canadian international has scored seven goals so far, but Nice's Evann Guessand is only one behind him with six.

Nice vs Lille Prediction

This is a remarkably difficult game to predict between two very closely-matched sides, right down to the fact that both squads are currently hit with injuries.

Both teams have been on excellent form, and both sides may also be slightly jaded from their European exploits in the week.

Given the strong defensive records of both teams, it's unlikely that this one will be a high-scoring affair. Therefore, a low-scoring draw seems to be the most likely outcome.

Prediction: Nice 1-1 Lille
