Lyon vs Lille Prediction & Betting tips
At the end of the season 2018/19 they still held the second and third place in the final table and accompanied champion Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. At the moment they are not even qualified for the Europa League as seventh and eighth in the current table.
Olympique Lyon and OSC Lille are tied and, despite five defeats from their first 15 league appearances, are only two points behind surprise third-placed Angers. The winner of this game may thus continue to move upwards.
The betting odds at Lyon against Lille are clearly in the direction of the Gones, which is quite a remarkable assessment as OL could only win one of their last nine competitive games against the Dogues and has been without a win five times in a row.
But: The reigning vice-champion from the north of France shows in the current season two completely different faces. Home unbeaten and home-topped, LOSC are the weakest Ligue 1 team in the league. Lille is of great relevance for the forecast.
For example, OL may not be untouchable at home, but conceded only four goals in Groupama Stadium on eleven out of 21 possible points. Since Rudi García took over the coaching, it is also additionally upwards, which we at Lyon vs.. Lille Tip 1 for the best possible option hold.
Lyon:
On 14 October 2019 Rudi García took over the coaching of the unsuccessful Génésio successor Sylvinho, who had to pack his suitcase immediately after just eleven missions and desolate point expansion.
Although under the former coach of arch-rival Olympique Marseille just lost the duel with l’OM with 1: 2 away, the other five league games under Rudi García but were much more successful: four wins and a draw.
But now the coach fox is the next duel with a former club before. Between 2008 and 2013, the experienced trainer sat on the bench of the Doggen and brought with the team in 2011 even the French championship.
Most recently, he scored twelve points from his last five games with Olympique Lyon and climbed diligently in the table, where the Gones returned to seventh position – and the trend is still upward, but now the next three should be against the reigning runner-up.
Luckily, because of the recent momentum of the eight-time French champion, Lille tip 1 really does work out, although OL did not score very well against the Great Danes last time and was without a win five times in a row with LOSC ,
That this changes could also be due to two explosive personal details. The speech is from Youssouf Koné and Thiago Mendes. Both moved from the north of France to the south this summer, where they should compensate for the serious departures from Tanguy Ndombélé to Tottenham and Ferland Mendy to Real Madrid.
Currently with increasing success. At home, the Gones conceded only four goals conceded in seven games and also bring a total of fifteen goals from 15 league games with a solid defense. Adjustments, in particular Rudi García turned, under which there were, however, two defeats in the Champions League in the last three games.
Lyon is only in third place in Group G and has lost the direct duel with Zenit St. Petersburg. Regardless of what happens on matchday six, however, OL has the wintering in the Europa League for sure.
Thus, the team of Rudi García can continue to focus fully on the catch-up in Ligue 1, where fortunately, the entire team can participate. For the upcoming home game against LOSC all 27 players of the first team are operational, making the new coach has the agony of choice.
Lille:
Lots of ups and downs have been experienced by OSC Lille alone in the current decade. Starting with the French championship of the year 2011, which could be retracted under the Lyon coach Rudi García, under which Lille landed in all five seasons among the top six teams in the country.
Most recently, Christophe Galtier just saved the Danes at the end of the 2017/18 season, finishing seventeenth and saving the team from relegation before preparing to take the runner-up championship in the following season.
A strong year, which once again aroused desires that the LOSC could not resist. Nicolas Pépe, Rafael Leao and Anwar El Ghazi also turned their backs on the club, as did Thiago Mendes and Youssouf Moné, who hired Lyon for their opponents.
About 150 million euros Lille realized with these sales. Money that was reinvested only about halfway. King transfer was Renato Sanches, who had previously played virtually no role at Bayern for three years. Actors like Timothy Weah, Victor Osimhen and Yusuf Yazici also bring a lot of development potential but are also very young.
After all: Just Osimhen, who is top goalscorer with seven goals, as well as Yazici, who is with four assists of the top supporters of the Nordfranzosen, hit quite well, although the LOSC did remarkably difficult, especially in the distance.
First place in the home table and bottom in the away table – this alone makes clear that the two faces that showed the Great Danes, could hardly look different.
To bolster up the poor record in the distance, the Danes now get the next chance, with the odds of bookmakers at Lyon against Lille turn out because of the only two points from seven away games clearly in the direction of the home side.
In addition, the mastiffs were very tame with only four goals in the distance, while in Lyon now everything should again focus on Victor Osimhen, which makes it extra easy to calculate.
Finally, his deputy, PSG new signing Timothy Weah, is still injured and unavailable for this groundbreaking game. Meanwhile, the return from LOSC to the Champions League was also less successful. With only one point out of five games, the Danes are already eliminated there and no longer have any chance of wintering in the Europa League.
Accordingly, the Galtier-Eleven can concentrate fully on the tasks in national football, where nothing is lost because of the home strength. The first three in the distance at OL and Lille would be back on top in the race for the Champions League starting places.
