Lille vs Lyon Free Betting Tips
Excellent at the start of the season, Lille is the last unbeaten team in this French Ligue 1 championship. Indeed, the Mastiffs have a very good record of 5 wins in 8 days and 3 draws. But above all, they are very convincing in the game. Before sharing the points with Nice last Sunday (1-1), Christophe Galtier’s men also had 3 good victories against Nantes (2-0), Strasbourg ( 0-3) and especially Lens (4-0) in the derby where the players from the North showed significant superiority over their neighbour. In the Europa League, the Mastiffs also got off to a very good start by going to make their law on the ground of Sparta Prague (1-4) last Thursday. Thursday, they face Celtic on the occasion of the 2nd day.
Brilliant on the European scene this summer during the Final 8 of the Champions League, Olympique Lyonnais made a mixed start to the season that could even be described as average. Indeed, the Gones have won only one of their first 6 games in this new championship. Undoubtedly disturbed by the many assumptions of departure of executives, the Rhone regularly stumbled on the defences of Nîmes (0-0), Lorient (1-1) and Marseille (1-1) during the month of September. Since the end of the transfer window, the men of Rudi Garcia have found colour. Winners of a fairly spectacular duel against Strasbourg (2-3), they also expressed their superiority against Monaco (4-1) without fully convincing in the game.
The workforce for Lille vs Lyon
Lille is lucky to be able to count on a whole group for this part. Excellent since the start of the season, Turkish striker Yilmaz seems to be a good pick at the forefront of the northern attack. On the other hand, the disappointing David is struggling to find his feet and still hasn’t scored a single goal since his arrival. He also started the meeting on the bench last week.
In Lyon, the young and promising left side Bard will be suspended after being sent off against Monaco. In addition, the very good Belgian defender Denayer is also missing. Despite his abortive departure for Barça, Memphis Depay is very comfortable in this team. Excellent against Strasbourg without scoring, he was decisive from the start against Monaco on Sunday night. Toko Ekambi remains on 4 goals scored in the last two days.
