Lille vs Nice Prediction & Betting Tips (19 May)

Lille clearly has nothing to be ashamed of its services offered during this 2023-2024 season. Quarter-finalist in the Conference League where it lost on penalties to Aston Villa, Losc also had a very good run in the championship since it appeared, at the dawn of this final day, on the 3rd podium thanks to a goal difference greater than that of Brest, 4th. Often irregular lately, the Mastiffs were beaten by Monaco 1-0 before winning in Metz 1-2. Subsequently surprised at home by a formidable Lyon team 3-4, the Northerners then sought a very important success against Nantes 1-2 last week to be best placed to play the Champions League before this last meeting. you of the season.

OGC Nice, for its part, could regret its big air gap experienced in 2024 if it does not manage to grab the Champions League this weekend. The Gym had nevertheless reached the heights during the first part of the season by demonstrating unfailing defensive solidity, but this was shattered after the winter break. But after having fallen quite significantly in the ranking, the Aiglons have returned to the race for the podium in recent weeks thanks to their 3 successes won during the last 4 days played against Lorient 3-0, Marseille 2-2, Strasbourg 1- 3 and Le Havre 1-0 last weekend.

Losc must take into account several absences before these last few days. Of course, long-term injured Umtiti and Miramon and replacement Fernandes are still out of fitness. Already out last weekend, Turkish international Yacizi is not expected to return in time this Sunday while starting goalkeeper Chevalier has seriously injured his knee and he may even miss the Olympics with the Bleuets. Finally, winger Ounas should remain sidelined. Author of a double in Nantes last week, Canadian striker Jonathan David occupies 2nd place in the Ligue 1 scorers rankings with 19 goals to his name. The formidable Kosovar Zhegrova (9 goals, 6 assists between L1 and C4 this season) is also one of the great satisfactions of the season for the Mastiffs.

Midfielder Beka Beka will of course be out of the Nice group for this match. We shouldn't see the designer Sofiane Diop there either, who has been very bothered by physical glitches this season. Otherwise, Francesco Farioli should be able to count on a full squad for this decisive match. A priori, the Nigerian striker Moffi, who has 11 goals to his credit in the elite, should be established at the forefront of the attack while the Ivorian Jérémy Boga (5 goals, 2 assists) and the winter recruit Cho could take place on the wings.
