Lille vs Olympique Lyon Prediction Ligue 1 Match on 08.03.2020

Lyon’s campaign this season is slowly improving lately. They are approaching to the European League zone by sitting on the fifth of the table. This weekend they are taking on Lille, whose position in the standings is right above them. This clash will be a mission for Les Gones to regain their status as the elite team in Ligue 1 as well as reducing the point difference with their contender. They are both still separated by six points.

Both teams’ previous matches

Lille had to struggle to win over the host while visiting Nantes last weekend. Christopher Gaultier’s men finally managed to score by Benjamin Andre’s header after taking advantage of Renato Sanches’s long pass from the corner.

Their counterpart, Lyon, had a more convincing result while hosting Saint Etienne last week. They thumped Claude Puel’s men by Moussa Dembele’s brace. Those were his sixteen goals in Ligue 1. Unfortunately, their hope to progress in Coupe de France dashed as they were hammered by PSG 1-5. 

Possible tactic

Christopher Gaultier tends to employ 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation. He relies on the Nigerian youngster Victor Oshimen as the lone striker supported by Jonathan Ikone, Renato Sanches and Luiz Araujo plus the senior striker, the former Newcastle and Chelsea man, Loic Remy.

Meanwhile, the former Lille, Roma and Marseille manager, Rudi Garcia often opts for 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2 as he employed while beating Juventus in Champions League. Unfortunately, he will not be able to play his main forward, Memphis Depay, due to his injury. Moussa Dembele will be the number one frontman instead. 

Players to watch

In Lille’s current squad, there are a number of key figures such as the top scorer, Victor Osimhen with thirteen goals plus four assists, the former Bayern midfielder, Renato Sanches with three goals and one assist and the winger Jonathan Ikone. 

Les Gones should have been confident with their better squad. Their top performers are Moussa Dembele with sixteen goals and two assists, the two young midfielders, Lucas Tousart and Houssem Auorar and their new signing, the Villarreal loanee Karl Toko Ekambi.

Lille vs Lyon Prediction

The host might have to struggle again to secure three points at home as Lucas Tousart and Co have had a better mentality in the crucial match like this. Jonathan Ikone and Co need to optimize every single attempt in the game to score in order to win over Lyon.

Betting Odds

Despite the less impressive form, the host is still backed as the favorite according to the punters. Lille’s win market is at 2.10. The odds for the draw result are 3.40 while Les Gones are priced to win at 3.50.
