Lille - Nice predictions

The online bookies marked Lille as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Nice winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The odds are stacked heavily against Nice here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Lille are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.09.

Lille didn’t exactly shine in the previous round when they played at Auxerre . The whole match was a rather uneventful affair, and both teams went home with a single point after a 0:0 stalemate.

Nice snagged a convincing 2:4 away win at Reims in the previous round. Even though they went into the match as visiting underdogs, they took the lead in the first round. Even more surprisingly, the goal difference only grew as the match progressed.

Lille fans are hoping they’ll be able to break stalemates this time – unlike in their previous 3 matches.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Nice’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

The 18 games they played so far brought Nice to one of the Champions League qualifying spots on the table. Whether they’ll manage to keep the placement for the second half of the season, though, remains to be seen. Earning even a single point in this upcoming game could be considered a success, for instance, considering most bookies are pricing an away win at 4.09.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Lille and Nice ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Edon Zhegrova, Nabil Bentaleb, Samuel Umtiti, Ethan Mbappé Lottin for the hosts, and Morgan Sanson, Jonathan Clauss, Moise Bombito, Victor Orakpo for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 1 odds offered at 1xbet are more than fair in terms of value.
