Lille vs Lyon Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of the visitors’ last seven games.
• Both teams have scored in five of the hosts’ last five matches.
• Over 2.5 goals have been produced in six of Lyon’s last seven outings.

Both sides have higher ambitions

Despite only managing a draw away to Lens last time out, Lille will be keen to maintain their good form as they look to break into the top five and as a result, a spot in Europe. They’ve been consistent scorers on home soil, hitting the back of the net in 12 of their 13 league outings at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. However, they’ve conceded in nine of those and they’ll need to keep their concentration when they welcome a Lyon outfit that are unbeaten in six of their last seven road trips across all competitions.

Lyon have begun to put a bit of form together after a disappointing start to the season. They sit in tenth place but are just seven points adrift of the top five spots. Taking points as often as possible is crucial if they’re to close the gap and they’ll feel confident given they have found goals easier to come by away from home. The visitors have scored in ten of their away Ligue 1 outings and they will likely contribute to the scoring here.

Goals look likely

We like the look of goals here but we also like both teams to score. Neither of those markets are a good price but by combining the two we find much more generous odds. Both sides will be looking to secure victory and goals look likely. As such, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score will be our play.
