Lille vs Ajax Prediction & Betting tips
It’s time for the continuation of the Europa League! Ajax is visiting LOSC Lille, so we can enjoy the Dutch leader against the French leader. What can we expect?
Lille:
Lille is the proud leader of Ligue 1 and is having an exceptional season in Ligue 1. Currently, the club is eight games unbeaten and has lost only two games this season. Not a single game was lost against the top 9 of the French league and the club is performing above expectations. The main question is how long will Lile be able to maintain this level. Head coach Christophe Galtier has varied his selection policy quite a bit in recent months and therefore the question was where the focus of Lille will be. “As far as I can tell, the players are very focused on winning the league title. Whether we let go of the Europa League? No, I won’t say that. ” said the 54-year-old head coach.
Last weekend we saw Lille with an A-team, but without ex-Ajax player Sven Botman. French TV channel Canal + sparked the rumors by saying that Botman would agree with a Premier League club, but both agent Nikkie Bruinenburg and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reported that this is not true. That is why it could well be that he just got some rest for the duel with Ajax. Lille experienced a bad general competition and fired no fewer than fifteen shots. None of those shots were a shot on target at all, preventing Lille from registering its eighth victory in a row. Gaultier’s team did keep a clean sheet for the fifth league game in a row.
Ajax:
The team from Amsterdam seem on their way to their 35th national title, after PSV and Vitesse spilled points earlier this weekend. The gap between leader Ajax and number two PSV is no less than six points, but the team from Amsterdam still has one match credit. Provided Ajax gets far in the Europa League, this can still cause problems for the KNVB in the planning of the catch-up game against FC Utrecht. Unlike its upcoming opponent, Ajax did have a good dress rehearsal when visiting Heracles Almelo. Thanks to Davy Klaassen and Sebastien Haller – who both scored a goal and an assist – they won 0-2. That is why Ajax booked its sixth competition victory in a row.
With that, Erik ten Hag’s team ended up in a solid flow, in which the quarter final of the cup was also won last week. Sebastien Haller scored twice in the first half against competitor PSV, allowing Ajax to reach the last four of the TOTO KNVB Cup. PSV had not even shot at goal once. In addition to the suspended André Onana, the Frenchman Haller is also – as you may know – absent from Lille.
