Lyon vs Lille Prediction and Betting Tips

The Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Lyon lock horns with Lille in a crucial encounter at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday.

Lyon vs Lille Preview

Lille are currently in eighth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. Les Gones edged Montpellier to an important 2-1 victory in their previous game and will need to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Lille, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have also been plagued by inconsistency this season. The away side edged Monaco to an exhilarating 4-3 victory last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
