Our Lorient vs Lille Prediction
Lille has just boosted its confidence by beating AS Monaco 1-0 on the second day of Ligue 1. The Dogues were able to count on their star signing, Olivier Giroud. Despite being 38 years old, the French striker is still in great shape. After a very impressive summer preparation, he has not slowed down for the start of Ligue 1. He has scored two goals in the first two league games. Why not continue his streak against a promoted team?
