Betting prediction was written by Anton

After a nice opening game, winning on St-Etienne’s pitch, Lille is now struggling as they drew 3 times and lost home, against PSG. Lyon has made a nearly perfect start to their Ligue 1 season, winning 4 of their 5 matches and drawing the other. Both teams will be playing mid-week, both home, so the shape should be pretty much the same even though Lille will have one more day to rest. They have the same objective, which is to end up in the top 3, as every season, so Lille have to start taking points not to be too far from their opponents.

 

1X2 BETS

Lille are small favourites as the home team, at a top price of 2.25 with Ladbrokes. If you want to back the draw, Pinnacle will offer an odd of 3.44, and also has the best odd for the Lyon’s win at 3.77.

Lille have lost their playmaker Eden hazard who is now shinning in the EPL, and since then, their coach Rudy Garcia hasn’t found the proper offensive animation, despite the signings of few players like Salomon Kalou. Lyon has nearly the same squad as last season, so they are already playing good as a team, with their start striker Lisandro Lopez who is never disappointing.

ASIAN HANDICAP

The handicap is set at Lille -0.25 @ 1.84 with BetVictor and Lyon +0.25 @ 2.09 with Pinnacle.

Lille is not in a position where they can afford any other result than winning for a second game in a row at home, against a direct opponent. On the other side, Lyon will play without pressure, and will just try to keep Lille as far away as possible.

TOTAL GOALS

The under 2.5 goals is favourite, at 1.91 with Pinnacle, and the over is 2.00 with Bet365.

Lille had 3 games going over 2.5 goals so far and Lyon beat the over 2.5 goals in 2 of their 5 games.

Those teams met 3 times past season, with 3 goals each time. Considering that Lille has to win, and Lyon will have space in their back, we could see 3 goals or more.
