Lille - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Ligue 1 disappointment. Lille suffered a disappointing Lens away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Sunday.

The first 45 minutes of Olympique Lyonnais’s previous Ligue 1 game did not exactly do justice to the overwhelming betting odds they were on - 1.48. A tied half led to a narrow 1:0 win after the break but not many fans will have been happy with their team’s display.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Lille may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Olympique Lyonnais’s record shows zero concessions over their previous three home games. As such, Away winning to Nill seems like a solid option to consider.

Although Olympique Lyonnais are currently one of the best-placed squads in the Ligue 1, they are hard underdogs in this match in Stade Pierre-Mauroy. They’ll likely have to postpone any plans of moving up to take the lead for now – though there’s plenty of time to catch up later in the season. After all, this is still just round 6.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Sunday.
