Prediction: 3-1
Lyon
Lille will be looking to recover from a 3-0 loss to Lens when they take on Olympique Lyon in a highly-anticipated Ligue 1 game. Les Dogues have been impressive at home ground in the early stages of the season, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Olivier Giroud and Co. Defender Romain Perraud is unlikely to feature against les Gones after twisting his ankle at the weekend, with Calvin Verdonk likely to step up.
The visitors, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Angers at the weekend, with Tanner Tessmann scoring the winner. Lyon, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given Lille’s perfect home record, we are tempted to place our bets on Bruno Genesio’s troops this time out. Les Gones are boosted by Tyler Morton’s return from suspension, while both Orel Mangala and Ernest Nuamah remain in the treatment room.
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.
