Match Time & Date:

18:30
Prediction: 1-1
Lille
Sparkles will be flying when Olympique Lyon and Lille square off against each other at Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Les Gones aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Olympique Marseille, but they will have a big fish to fry against les Dogues. Midfielder Johann Lepenant is sidelined with injury, talented forward Malick Fofana is pushing for a start after the 18-year-old came as a substitute in the Choc des Olympiques.
Lille, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Clermont, but beating Lyon on the road is easier said than done. A place in the Coupe de France quarter-finals is at stake and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Samuel Umtiti, Ivan Cavaleiro, and Bafode Diakite are sidelined with injuries, but there are no other selection worries in the away team.
