Lyon vs Lille Predictions

• Lille are unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions
• Lyon have won only one of their first 11 league games
• Lille have lost only once in their last 15 meetings with Lyon in 90 minutes

Lyon could suffer another setback

At the eleventh time of asking, Lyon claimed their first win of the season away at Rennes prior to the international break, but that doesn’t mean they have turned a corner.

Les Gones remain rooted to the foot of the Ligue 1 table with only seven points from 11 games and they still await their first home win of the campaign.

Lyon have endured 4-1 defeats at home to Montpellier and Paris St-Germain while second-bottom Clermont were also successful in a 2-1 victory on their trip there.

Draws with Le Havre, Lorient and Metz also highlight a worrying decline for a team that finished seventh last season, winning 18 of their 38 matches.

Lille likely to prove too strong

So Lille, who sit fourth and have lost only two of their opening 12 games, will be expected to have their measure.

The visitors are having to balance their domestic duties with a Europa Conference League campaign but they are faring well and unbeaten in nine games in all competitions.

Lille may have won only one of their six away league games this term but draws at second-placed Nice, Marseille and high-flying Le Havre show that they have not shied away from the challenge on their travels.

Lille have lost only one of their last 15 meetings with Lyon in 90 minutes and they are taken to triumph in what may be a low-scoring contest.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in each of Lille’s last six league games so correct-score backers can opt for a 1-0 away win.
