Prediction: 2-0
Clermont
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Olympique Lyon, Lille will look to move closer to the Champions League berth when they host Clermont to their Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday afternoon. Les Dogues failed to defend their Ligue 1 title, but they are still in the race for a top-three finish. Midfielder Benjamin Andre is back from suspension, whilst forward Burak Yilmaz should miss out with injury.
Clermont, on the other hand, are six points clear of the relegation zone. Even though les Lanciers defeated Marseille in their last away game, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the reigning champions, who are eager to book their place in the elite competition. Defender Alidu Seidu is back for the visiting team after serving his one-game ban in a 1-1 draw with Bordeaux.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):
After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
