Lille vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips (6 May)

Author of a very interesting season this year, Losc reached the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League where they were only knocked out on penalties by Aston Villa. In the championship, he is still in 4th position in the ranking with 3 days remaining. However, the northern club has not said its last word in the race for the podium since it is only 2 small points behind the 3rd, Brest. Rather consistent in recent weeks, the Dogues have only lost once in the last 8 days and they have even won 4 times in the last 5 days played against Lens 2-1, Marseille 3-1, Strasbourg 1-0, Monaco defeated 1-0 and Metz 1-2. Opposite, Olympique Lyonnais are still chasing the too many points lost during the first part of the season which they mainly spent in the red zone.

Much better since December, Pierre Sage's men were able to get out of the red zone and even get back into the race for the last European places thanks to excellent results achieved in the second half of the year. Still in good shape, the Gones have won 3 of their last 4 matches played against Nantes 1-3, Brest 4-3, PSG 4-1 and Monaco 3-2 and they are 1 point and 1 game behind on 7th place potentially qualifying for Europe. Finally, they were able to qualify for the final of the Coupe de France where they will face PSG.

The long-term injured Umtiti, Ilic and Miramon are still on the floor. Out injured against Monaco, captain Benjamin André also remains in the infirmary while winger Ounas is still sidelined for this meeting. Unsurprisingly, Canadian striker Jonathan David should start well, having scored 17 goals in the league this year. The formidable Kosovar Zhegrova (8 goals, 6 assists between L1 and C4 this season) should take his place on the right while the Turk Yacizi scored his 5th goal of the season in L1 last Sunday. Sick at the start of the week, the World champion full-back Tagliafico should be back, however.

Also, Les Gones could be in full force again for this match. The Lyonnais are still led by their striker Alexandre Lacazette who scored his 16th league goal of the season last weekend against AS Monaco. The other 2 goals were scored by the Algerian Benrahma (2 goals, 2 goals) and Fofana (2 goals). Also watch out for playmaker Cherki (1 goal, 5 assists).
