The race for the top three slots in the French Ligue 1 will gather more pace this weekend, when Lyon hosts Lille. Fourth-placed Lyon have been in good form and will seek to extend the same to Les Dogues, who start this round sitting fifth. Four points separate the two and below is our match prediction.
Lyon are only struggling to keep clean sheets; they have one in the last five league matches but have been winning most of their matches.
In midweek they came from behind to beat PAOK 4-2, finishing the Europa League league phase top of the standings. That was a ninth straight win for Les Gones and they’ve won six straight at home.
Lille have a tough task in their trip to Lyon. This season alone, they’ve already lost twice to Lyon and that winless run against Lyon extends to six matches. Five of those six meetings ended in defeat.
In addition to an inferior head-to-head record, Lille aren’t in great shape either. They are only coming off their first win in six matches, the earlier five having ended in defeat.
It took a late penalty from Olivier Giroud to see off Freiburg in the two sides’ Europa League game. The visitors have managed just four wins in their last 10 matches. They also lost six of the last 10 away games.

Our Lyon vs Lille Prediction
Lyon are in a rich vein of form, and in this shape, they’ve already claimed two wins against Lille this season. The hosts look likely to claim a third victory here, going by their recent run of form. In their last nine matches, Lyon have posted straight wins and are unbeaten in six against Lille, winning four.
On the other hand, Lille haven't been very convincing lately. Before their midweek win in the Europa League, they had suffered five straight defeats. Our prediction for Lyon v Lille is that Lyon wins.
