Lille vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips (29 March)

The next few weeks will be decisive for Lille, which can still aim to play in the Champions League next year. Author of rather convincing performances this season, Losc is in 4th position in the ranking with a completely reasonable delay of 3 units on the podium before this 27th day. Since their last setback suffered against Toulouse 3-1, the Dogues were able to recover by winning against Reims 0-1 before stringing together 2 draws against Rennes 2-2 and Brest 1-1 during clashes between European contenders . Also note that the Northerners will face Aston Villa next month in the quarter-final of the Conference League. Just like its opponent of the day, Lens could well return to Europe next season.

Indeed, Racing has the podium in its sights since it is only 4 units behind 3rd, Monaco, and only one behind its opponent of the day despite its big setback conceded before the international break against Nice 1- 3. A match during which the Artésiens accumulated defensive errors. Before that, the Sang et Or had shown more quality to quite easily defeat Lyon 0-3 and more difficultly Brest 1-0.

For Losc, former world champion Umtiti and new recruit Ilic will still be missing. This will also be the case for the usual replacements Morais and Fernandes who have been in the infirmary for a while. Fortunately for them, the Mastiffs will still be able to rely on Canadian center forward Jonathan David who is stacking goals at the moment. He has indeed found the net 6 times in the last 4 matches in all competitions and he scored his team's last 3 goals in Ligue 1, including the one in Brest before the international break. He is also in 2nd place in the Ligue 1 scorers rankings with 15 goals.

The interesting winger Zeghrova (3 goals, scorer Thursday) and the Icelandic Haraldsson could take their place on the sides while the Turkish Yacizi (4 goals) has seen his playing time reduced recently. The long-term absentees Cabot and Deiver Machado should not make the short trip to the Decathlon Arena for this derby. The young Belgian midfielder Sishuba, who was selected during the Nice reception, could make his return but the replacement defender Kushanov will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. Despite his team's defeat against the Aiglons, the former Montpellier Wahi scored his 6th goal of the season and joined his partner Saïd at the top of the scorers' ranking ahead of the ever-present Sotoca (5 goals).
