Lyon vs Lille Odds
Lyon Team News
Getting their first three points of the season should boost Lyon’s morale, given that they did so away from home against Rennes, a team that finished fourth last season. Although they played against an out-of-form team that played with ten men for 85 minutes, Lyon’s squad should be satisfied.
Despite Lyon being bottom, they are just six points behind tenth-placed Marseille and nine off the European places, despite a poor start. Another win here could lift them off the bottom if Clermont fails to win, but they will remain in the relegation zone regardless of this weekend’s result as Lorient is four points clear.
Although the match against Rennes seemed difficult on paper, the next five looks extremely demanding for coach Fabio Grosso’s team. In the next four games, they play against teams that participate in European competitions, namely Lille, Lens, Marseille, and Toulouse, and then visit Monaco.
Alexandre Lacazette scored the winning goal for Lyon in this fixture last season and should return to the starting line-up after coming on as a substitute against Rennes. Former Crystal Palace defender Jake O’Brien has given Grosse confidence back after starting the last five games and scoring the only goal in the last game.
Lyon will be without their defensive duo of Clinton Mata and Nicolas Tagliafico through injury and suspension, while Johann Lepenant will also be out with a knee injury.

Lille Team News
Lille have often been a difficult opponent for Lyon over the past decade, but they ended their unbeaten run by beating the visitors for the first time in 13 attempts last season. It came after Lille had won five in six seasons in the Groupe, but their form away from home this season has been extremely unusual.
Paul Fonseca’s side have not lost on the road since the season opened, but they have also won just once away from home, against Le Havre in early October. Seven of LOSC’s nine away games this season have ended in a draw, including all three in Europe against much weaker opponents – Rijeka, KI Klaksvik, and Slovan Bratislava.
Despite few teams breaking out in form, these steady points collections have Lille currently in the top four, thanks to a nine-game unbeaten run. Lille have won just two of their last 14 away games, but this season 20 points from a possible 36 is currently good enough for fourth place, which now brings Ligue 1 Champions League qualification.
Lille’s Benjamin Andre is serving a suspension for accumulating yellow cards, joining Bafode Diakite and Tiago Djal on the sidelines, but the latter is closing in on a return from an ACL injury. Edon Zhegrava’s rising form should be ready for action after not being included in international duty with Kosovo last week.

Lyon vs Lille Prediction
Due to the better form and state of the table, Lille is closer to victory. However, Lyon has the advantage of the home field, so we cannot predict with certainty that the visitors will win. Also, we expect a more open match, and our proposal for betting is a draw or a triumph for the visitors, with at least two goals scored in the entire match.
