Lille are this season’s surprise package as they have battled around the top-four despite almost getting relegated last season. They have already got wins over the likes of Marseille (3-0), Saint-Etienne (3-1) and Rennes (3-1), all members of last year’s top seven, and showed great strength against the smaller, trickier sides.
Lyon have actually been very impressive as of late with them now eight matches unbeaten in all competitions. Big wins over Nimes (2-0), Guingamp (4-2) and Saint-Etienne (1-0) have come in this time and they currently sit 2nd in Ligue 1 despite having a pretty shaky start to the season.
Lille have actually won three of the last five meetings of these teams.
Lyon have really pushed on and have only lost one of their last 15 matches so should be full of confidence here. Lyon have won four of their last six on the road and with them now sitting 2nd in the league.
It could be a draw.
Lyon is on the rise! Well positioned in the Champions League and second in Ligue 1, OL seems to have launched its season. Inverse trajectory for Lille, which is now experiencing resistance after having dominated its subject at the start of the season. The dynamics could well assert themselves with a little more clarity at the end of this match. Lyon, to keep his chair dolphin, will absolutely enjoy the lean season of Lille.
