Prediction: 1-1
Lille
There will be fireworks when Monaco and Lille take on each other at Stade Louis II in the Ligue 1 derby. Both sides are eyeing a spot in the Champions League, meaning that an interesting encounter is on the cards. Les Rouges et Blancs did well to beat Brest 2-0 at the weekend, but the bad news for Adi Hutter is that both Wilfried Singo and Eliesse Ben Seghir were sent off in the Stade Francis-Le Blé triumph. The duo is banned for the midweek clash, while all Caio Henrique, Golovin, and Jakobs remain in the recovery room.
Les Dogues, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Strasbourg. Lille and Monaco, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Wednesday’s showdown. Both Edon Zhegrova and Gabriel Gudmundsson should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo was rested in the triumph over Le Racing.
Highlighted Player (Wissam Ben Yedder):
Wissam Ben Yedder was born in Sarcelles, France on 12 August, 1990, but he has yet to make his France debut at senior level. The 170-cm-tall striker, though, played three games for France U21 team and he made two appearances for France Futsal team as well.
Ben Yedder began his club career at UJA Alfortville and he moved to Toulouse in 2010. After scoring 63 goals in 156 league appearances for les Pitchouns, the pacey attacker joined La Liga side Sevilla on 30 July, 2016. Wissam Ben Yedder made his Sevilla debut on 14 August, 2016 in a 2-0 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. The former Toulouse forward scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight in Sevilla’s 6-4 win over Espanyol in the opening match of the 2016/2017 season.
Ben Yedder started his youth career at Garges-les-Gonesse and he played for the Saint-Denis at the start of his football career as well. You should bear in mind that Ben Yedder is Toulouse’s best scorer of the 21st century.
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.
