A massive fixture to close the season in Ligue 1 will be staged at Lille on Sunday, as the home side must claim victory to achieve Champions League qualification. However, this looks like a tricky fixture against Nice.
Ligue 1 Preview
The race for the final Champions League qualifying spot in Ligue 1 will go into the final week of the season, with Nice and Lille both still in the hunt. Lille will hold the advantage coming into the final weekend, as they will need to claim victory to hold off the threat from their rivals, but dropped points could allow Brest to bounce.
Lille come into this round in very inconsistent form after winning twice across their last four, and losing on the same number of occasions. The French side have landed 16 victories in their 33 matches this term, with no sides other than the top two claiming more this term. However, Lille will need to register a second straight success on Sunday following a victory in their previous outing.
Nice remain in the hunt for a European position themselves at this stage, and they have been one of the most consistent teams across the final months of the campaign. The French side have gone five league matches without defeat, and they have picked up victories in three of their last four.

But, their excellent recent run of form at least gives them a chance of upsetting the odds, and they could be challenging to oppose if coming into this showdown just a point behind Lille.
Lille vs Nice Head to Head
Nice boasts the advantage based on the head-to-head record between these sides after winning two of the last three, and three of the previous five against their rivals. The points were shared in the reverse clash this term following a 1-1 draw in Nice.
Lille vs Nice Prediction
This is a huge match with massive ramifications on the European spots this weekend. Lille’s poor record against Nice would be a major concern, and for that reason, we could see an away victory being a popular betting angle to follow in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
