Prediction: 2-1
Lyon
Monday’s football game between Lille and Olympique Lyon will bring down the curtain on the Ligue 1 round 32. Les Dogues are determined to secure their spot in the Champions League and they must be high on spirits following a come-from-behind win over Metz. All Benjamin Andre, Adam Ounas, Andrej Ilic, and Samuel Umtiti should miss out through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Key midfielder Hakon Arnar Haraldsson is widely expected to return to the starting eleven.
Les Gones, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Monaco, but they will have a big fish to fry in the Stade Pierre-Mauroy clash. Given Lille’s excellent home record in the 2023/2024 Ligue 1 campaign, we are not tempted to bet on the visitors. Nicolas Tagliafico is a major doubt (heart problems), while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Saïd Benrahma):
Said Benrahma is an Algeria international who started his club career at Nice. The pacey winger made his Ligue 1 debut during the 2013/2014 season and after scoring 3 goals in 17 appearances for les Aiglons in the French top flight, he moved to the Championship team Brentford in the summer of 2018.
Said Benrahma was born in Ain Temouchent, Algeria on August 10, 1995 and it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Angers, Gazelec Ajaccio and Chateauroux on loan before joining the Griffin Park outfit. The Algerian footballer impressed in the 2018/2019 Championship season, scoring 10 goals and providing 15 assists for his teammates.
His main position is right winger, but he is used as a left winger as well. Speaking of his international career, Said Benrahma made his debut for the Algeria national team on October 13, 2015 in a 1-0 win over Senegal.
Highlighted Team (Lille):
Lille have been playing an important role in French football ever since they were founded in 1944. Les Dogues won their first domestic trophy in the 1945/1946 season.
Lille did well to win their second Ligue 1 title in 1954 and 57 years later they lifted their last domestic title. Les Douges finished the 2010/2011 season in top position in the standings, eight points clear of second-placed Olympique Marseille and it has to be noted that Lille attacker Moussa Sow won the Golden Boot (25 goals).
Lille are one of the two teams that managed to win three consecutive Coupe de France trophies (1946, 1947, 1948), but they have yet to clinch the Coupe de la Ligue title. Les Dogues faced PSG in the 2015/2016 Coupe de la Ligue trophy, but les Parisiens proved to be a big catch for Frederic Antonetti’s team in the title game.
Lille play their home matches at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and the capacity of the stadium is 50.186. The venue was opened in August, 2017 and the construction cost €282 million.
